CLEVELAND, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- The Green Bay softball team was the home team on Friday afternoon, but it was forced to play at its opponent's home field due to unplayable field conditions at Green Bay. The Phoenix made the most of its situation, taking down Cleveland State 7-2 in the series opener at Viking Field.
