The Eastern Florida State College softball team's conference doubleheader at Hillsborough Community College has been postponed from Thursday to April 16. The Titans, who are 30-8 overall and 16-6 in the Citrus Conference, will instead play a home doubleheader against Indian River State College on Tuesday evening. The first game is set for 4 p.m. and will be broadcast live on WEFS-TV. Admission to the Tuesday game is free.
The postponement affects the team's current schedule, which had previously included a road game against Hillsborough Community College. The Titans are currently ranked second in the FCSAA and 12th nationally in team batting average at .382, while scoring 329 runs—second in the state and eighth in the nation. Their team ERA of 1.98 places them fourth in Florida.
Individual standout Annalyn Duncan leads the state and is fourth in the nation with 59 runs batted in this season, hitting .402. Aracelis Jimenez is tied for 10th in the nation with 53 runs scored, and Avery Velazquez has a 1.1 earned run average. The team's performance has drawn attention across the conference, though the postponement will shift their focus to the home game against Indian River State College.
The Titans' home game on Tuesday will be their first opportunity to face Indian River State College this season. With the rescheduling, the team will have additional time to prepare for the matchup. Fans are encouraged to attend the 4 p.m. game at the college's campus, where free admission and live television coverage will be available.
