INDIANOLA, Iowa - This weekend's Iowa Conference baseball series between Simpson and Wartburg has been pushed back one day due to the threat of inclement weather.

Saturday's first game marks the 2016 home opener for the Storm (4-9, 1-1), who lost to Grinnell 11-5 in non-conference action Thursday. The defending conference champions and preseason favorites, the Knights (7-5, 0-0) will play their first conference games of the season.
