BLUE MOUNTAIN, Miss. - The Blue Mountain College Athletic Department announced a schedule change to this weekend's softball doubleheader in Blue Mountain, Miss. as the Toppers of Blue Mountain College are set to host the No. 8 University of Mobile Rams.
Mobile and Blue Mountain were originally scheduled to meet for the first time this season on Friday afternoon, Mar. 18 for a conference doubleheader.

On Saturday, Mar. 19, the Rams are scheduled to play a conference doubleheader against Stillman College beginning at 1:00 p.m. CT in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Following Saturday's doubleheader, Mobile will travel a couple hours north to Blue Mountain, Miss. for Sunday's two games against the Toppers of Blue Mountain.
