2021 Baseball Schedule

SEWARD, Neb. – Due to wintry weather, the Concordia University Baseball program has made adjustments to its February schedule. The Rube Foster Classic scheduled for this weekend (Feb. 20-21) has been postponed. The season opener is now set for Tuesday, Feb. 23 when the Bulldogs will play both York College and Missouri Baptist University at Joe McGruff Field in Kansas City, Kan.

Head Coach Ryan Dupic’s squad continues to put the 2021 season on hold. Originally, Concordia had been scheduled to play four games in Winfield, Kan., the weekend of Feb. 13-14. Those games were canceled and have not been rescheduled. A year ago, the Bulldogs managed to begin the 2020 season on Feb. 8-9 with a weekend series at McPherson College (Kan.).

Slight adjustments were also made for an upcoming series at College of the Ozarks (Feb. 26-27), which was moved up a day and will now be a four-game set instead of a three-game series. In addition, game times have been locked in for action set to take place in Sabetha, Kan., March 6-14. View the schedule linked above for further details.

For neutral site games (such as the ones on Feb. 23), live coverage will be limited. Updates will be sent out via @CUNEathletics on Twitter, as they come available.

Next week’s revised schedule:

·        Tuesday, Feb. 23 vs. York, 12 p.m. (Kansas City, Kan.)

·        Tuesday, Feb. 23 vs. Missouri Baptist, 5 p.m. (Kansas City, Kan.)

·        Friday, Feb. 26 at College of the Ozarks, 1 p.m. DH

·        Saturday, Feb. 27 at College of the Ozarks, 1 p.m. DH
