Softball is a spring sport, yet every year schools in the northeast have to begin practicing with snow still covering the diamond. The Bearcats season begins on Friday, luckily in Georgia.

BU plays Boston College at noon and Georgia Southern at 4:00 on Friday as part of the Georgia Southern Tournament.
