Opening weekend of Rice 2013 baseball season

For those who wait from June to February just to get back out to Reckling Park to see the beloved Owls play baseball, that time has finally come once again. The Owls opened with a three-game series over the weekend and promptly swept Florida International University, taking all three games. The first two games were held under some fairly moist conditions, but Sunday was beautiful. Many fans took advantage of the nice weather and headed out to watch.
