The Fresno State baseball program released the 2021 schedule on Tuesday.
FRESNO, Calif. -Â The Fresno State baseball program released the 2021 schedule on Tuesday.Â
The Bulldogs will get their 45-game regular season schedule underway on Friday, Feb. 19Â traveling to UC Irvine for a three-game series at Anteater Ballpark.
After the COVID-19 pandemic shortened the Diamond 'Dogs season to 16 games in 2020, Fresno State will host 23 games and travel on the road for 22 contests.
Fresno State will play each of its six Mountain West opponents in a three-game series at both home and on the road this season to form a 36-game conference schedule. In addition to its season-opening three-game series at UCI, the 'Dogs will play six midweek games with five at home and one on the road.
The 'Dogs get their home schedule underway on Feb. 23 hosting San Francisco before opening Mountain West play welcoming San Jose State on Feb. 27-28.
The month of March starts with a trip to San Diego State for the first MW road series on March 6-7 before a series at home against New Mexico on March 13-14. A four-game road trip takes the 'Dogs to Pacific (March 17) and Nevada (March 20-21) with the month closing out at home with midweek contests against Pacific on March 24 and Saint Mary's on March 30.
The Bulldogs open April at UNLV on April 2-3 before returning home for a seven-game homestand to take on Pacific (April 7), Air Force (April 10-11) and San Diego State (April 17-18) as the month closes with a road trip to San Jose State on April 24-25.
May opens with a trip to New Mexico (May 1-2) followed by the final seven home games as Nevada (May 15-16), USC (May 18) & UNLV (May 22-23) come to Bob Bennett Stadium. The regular season wraps up with a trip to Air Force on May 28-29.
Fresno State brings back 27 returners from 2020 this spring while adding 12 newcomers, including 10 true freshman.
Note: Per Governor Newsom's on-going mandate for Institutions of Higher Education, no spectators will be permitted at home contests this spring. While we are disappointed that the Red Wave cannot be there to support our program, we know this decision was made to help keep our student-athletes, staff, and community safe.
