ARLINGTON, Texas -Â UTA baseball head coach Darin Thomas has announced the 2019 baseball schedule, and the 52-game slate includes 23 home contests, 28 road games and a neutral site match-up at Globe Life Park.Â
Â
The schedule also features nine total games against four teams (Baylor (2), Coastal Carolina (3), Dallas Baptist (2), Oklahoma (1), Texas A&M (1)) that participated in the 2018 NCAA postseason.
Â
"We feel like we have a great schedule with many games against top notch competition to go with our usual challenging SBC weekends, said Thomas. "We are always excited to play at Globe Life Park. Having TCU as an opponent only adds to the excitement of the night."
