USC Baseball Cancels Friday, Saturday Scrimmages

COLUMBIA, S.C. (USC SID) — South Carolina baseball scrimmages for Friday and Saturday at Founders Park have been cancelled with Sunday’s scrimmage currently to be determined.

In alignment with Richland County Government, the University of South Carolina’s Columbia campus will be closed through Friday, Oct. 7 and all classes are cancelled.

Only essential personnel should report on Thursday, Oct. 6 and Friday, Oct. 7.

As a state agency, the University follows the delay and closing determinations of Richland County Government.
University officials are consulting with state and local officials as we continue to assess the situation for the rest of the week as the track of Hurricane Matthew becomes more defined.

The University of South Carolina is encouraging students, faculty and staff to stay at home and stay off the roads as the evacuation of the state’s coastal region proceeds. Always obey all emergency personnel, signs, etc. Please take reasonable steps to ensure your safety and the safety of your family. At this time, the Columbia area is not included in the evacuation order and we do not anticipate a need for students to leave.
