Baseball Finalizes 2021 Schedule

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball head coach Scott Malone announced a 58-game slate for the 2021 season, featuring an appearance at the Shriner's Hospitals for Children College Classic and 27 home contests at Chapman Field.

"This is a challenging schedule but we are excited to face many highly-competitive programs this spring," said Malone. "Being able to represent Islander baseball at the Shriner's Hospitals for Children College Classic is an honor, followed up with an expanded league schedule will provide several exciting matchups."

A three-game series against UT-Arlington (Feb. 19-21) inside the friendly confines of Chapman Field kickstarts the highly anticipated return, serving as the club's season debut and home opener. The Islanders finish off February with a four-game set against Houston, beginning with a midweek road contest on Feb. 23 and concluding with A&M-Corpus Christi hosting the Cougars in the Kleburg Bank College Classic (Feb. 26-28) at Whataburger Field.

After a single-game contest at Texas (March 2) to start the month, the Islanders make their program debut at the three-day Shriner's Hospitals for Children College Classic (March 5-7) in Houston featuring matchups against perennial powerhouses TCU, Rice, and Texas Tech. The Lone Star State road stretch caps with a contest at Texas A&M (March 9).

The Southland approved a four-game series schedule, with the expanded format including Saturday doubleheaders and single games on Friday and Sunday.

A&M-Corpus Christi opens league play at McNeese (March 12-14) before returning to Chapman Field after nearly a month to welcome UTSA (March 19-21) for a three-game set. The Islanders are back on the road for a series at Sam Houston (March 26-28) and the opening act of the South Texas Showdown at UTRGV to conclude March action.

The Islanders host three league series during April, beginning with New Orleans (April 1-3) before turning its sights to Texas (April 9) for the second meeting between the two clubs this spring.

A Nicholls State series (April 9-11) on the road opens a key league stretch as the Islanders settle on the island for a nine-game home swing dotted with another South Texas Showdown meeting against UTRGV (April 13) before back-to-back series hosting Central Arkansas (April 16-18) and Houston Baptist (April 23-25).

A&M-Corpus Christi continues its league tour at Lamar (April 30-May 2) before welcoming Stephen F. Austin (May 7-9) and Southeastern Louisiana (May 14-16) in its final pair of home sets at Chapman Field. A road series at Northwestern State (May 20-22) culminates the regular season as the Islanders turn to Southland Conference Championship action May 27-29.
