NJC Sweeps Adams State JV Series

Alamosa, Colo...

Plainsmen baseball dominated the Adams State University JV squad this past weekend down in Alamosa.  As the weather still tinkers around winter-like conditions, it was positive to have the team back out competing again as their last series was canceled due to weather.  Northeastern continues the season this coming weekend on the road as they play regional games with Trinidad State College.  The Trojans are currently ahead of NJC in the standings, so these games will be pivital for the Plainsmen to win.  The four game series will include two games on Saturday the 19th and two games on Sunday the 20th.  First pitches will be thrown at 1pm and 3:30pm both days.
