Princeton's baseball game at Long Island University and its softball game at home against Hofstra have both been cancelled due to inclement weather. No make-up dates have been set yet.
The baseball team will be in action this weekend when it hosts Penn in a crucial pair of Gehrig Division doubleheaders at Clarke Field on Friday and Saturday. Both doubleheaders start at noon. Princeton is the three-time defending Gehrig Division champions while Penn is in second place and trails the Tigers by one game.
The softball team can clinch a share of its 13th league championship with four wins this weekend, starting at Dartmouth and ending at Harvard. The Crimson are the lone undefeated team in the league while Princeton is 6-2. If the Tigers end their league schedule at 10-2, the worst they can finish is in a tie with Harvard, although the Crimson have one game left at Cornell and a doubleheader against Penn. The Quakers own victories over both Princeton and Cornell this season. If Princeton and Harvard tie for the title, a double-elimination playoff will be set to determine the Ivy League's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
