CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball team will remain home to play Prairie View A&M in a nonconference matchup Tuesday night at Chapman Field before facing the Corpus Christi Hooks in an exhibition Wednesday night at Whataburger Field.
The Islanders (13-19) are venturing away from conference play for two nights looking to recoup, starting with a midweek against Prairie View on Tuesday at 6 p.m. That game will be available to watch live on ESPN+.
Although not counting towards their record, the Islanders will also take on the Double-A Affiliate of the Houston Astros in an exhibition game ahead of the Hooks' season opener on Friday. They will play at Whataburger Field Wednesday night at 6:35 p.m.
It will be the third meeting of the Hooks and the Islanders, and first since the 2022 season.
The last midweek for the Islanders was a stunning 4-1 victory in Austin that had them taking down Texas. It was their first win over the Longhorns in five years and first over a Power Five squad since 2022 when they took two-of-three from Nebraska.
It came after A&M-Corpus Christi opened conference play on the road for a 2-1 series win at UIW. The Islanders had hoped to bring that road momentum home but unfortunately fell behind to Nicholls most recently in the three-game series.
