Cullowhee, N.C. - Due to unfavorable weather forecasts that includes rain and thunderstorms across Western North Carolina through the afternoon, Tuesday's nonconference baseball game between mountain rivals Western Carolina and UNC Asheville originally scheduled for 4:00 pm has been cancelled.

Deteriorating weather conditions across the region throughout the afternoon on Tuesday prompted officials to make the call on cancelling the game. Currently, no make-up date has been announced.
