WACO, Texas — Baylor will wait another three days to open its 2021 baseball season.

Wednesday, the school's baseball program announced it had canceled its season-opening series against Jacksonville State scheduled to begin Friday in Waco due to weather.

The Bears are now scheduled to open the 2021 season at 4 p.m. Monday against UT-Rio Grande Valley in Waco.

Baylor's 2020 season was cut short before conference play began due to the COVID-19 pandemic canceling the remainder of the 2019-20 collegiate sports year in mid-March.
