Robertson Woods Field
This Week in Peacock Baseball... After ten straight home games cancelled due to weather and field conditions and a delay of one day this week... the Peacocks are returning to Robertson Woods Field on Thursday for the 2013 home and Northern Sun Conference openers. Upper Iowa will welcome the Wolves of Northern State in a double header that was originally scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. The Peacocks (7-6) have not been on the field for a game since Mar. 16 when they split a pair of nine-inning games. Northern State (9-9, 2-2 NSIC) is coming off a weekend split with Minnesota State; the Wolves won a game on each day of the weekend with the #11 Mavericks. After Thursday’s double header, the Peacocks will head to Kearney, Neb. for a four-game set with the Lopers. UNK (15-13, 15-11 MIAA) is coming off a 1-2 weekend against the Hornets of Emporia State at home.
