Birds are @ Belmont playing two 7 inn DH in two days on Sat/Sunday.

Then to OK St the following weekend for 3, though they got more snow than we did so we shall see if that happens.
 
We're picked 2nd in the valley; hopefully we make the tourney again. I just started following the team a bit the last few years; still find it odd that
A. Dallas Baptist is in the valley and
B. They're picked higher than us.

I remember we played Houston Baptist in basketball a few years ago. I bet Dallas Baptist has to be a main rival; unless there's a Houston Heathen's University.
 
I paid attention when I was in school because a couple of guys on the dorm floor played baseball. Then paid a little attention here and there over the years until maybe 7-10 years ago, when I caught them in Florida 3 or 4 years running during spring break. Have paid more attention since. They look strong this year, I hope they get to play their season.
 
Dallas Baptist is a perennial NCAA team.

According to their media guide:

9 NCAA Regionals in last 12 years
8 40 win seasons out of last 9
Finished 2015 with number 1 RPI
18 MLB players (made the majors) since 1987
56 draft picks in last 12 years
18 all americans since 2006

Their baseball is no joke.
 
Hopefully we'll be able to watch them this spring in person. Ain't gonna miss the DBU series. I know that now. Actually I watched them in the MVC tourney here. If I recall we kinda of blew that game to them.
 
Should be another solid season. Nice to see the program continue to elevate (aside from a couple bad years) in the last decade-plus.
 
Didn't see anything listed for the Belmont series, and there's nothing on the schedule for any other games, but ESPN+ and 3 have lots of college baseball games listed. Maybe we'll get some broadcast at some point.
 
The 'Birds opened up a can on SIU-Eddieville in a doubleheader sweep yesterday, winning 5-1 and 9-1.

The baseball program is in great shape.
