The Ponies baseball team will play three games this weekend to start off spring break.

The Ponies will play Eastern Oklahoma State on  March 13 and 14 and Richland College on March 15. All games start at 1 p.m. Sunday's game will be a double-header. (Remember that Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday.)

The Ponies are ranked 19th in the nation by the National Junior College Athletic Association poll.
