CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball team continues its home stand by hosting HBU at Chapman Field Thursday through Saturday.
"We're excited to be at home and back on campus," said head coach
Scott Malone. "We get to get in front of our home crowd and play well. This is a big series for us as HBU and Lance Berkman have things going in the right direction. They're playing their best baseball now when they need it most.
The Islanders haven't had a home series since playing the UIW Cardinals at home where the team came away with a 2-1 series victory. The program has been on the road the past two weeks against Northwestern State and Southeastern with one home game against Texas A&M.
