2020 M Baseball schedule released

Michigan baseball released its 2020 schedule today.  Michigan will start with early-season trips to Arizona, Florida and California, including a televised opener against Vanderbilt on February 14 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Highlights include a very difficult Spring Break trip to California:

at Cal Poly (Fr-Su Feb 28-Mar 1)
at Stanford (Tu Mar 3)
at Cal (We Mar 4)
at Pepperdine (Fr-Su Mar 6-8)

Michigan's home conference series:

Purdue (March 20-21-22)
Ohio State (April 10-11-12)
Nebraska (April 24-25-26)
Iowa (May 14-15-16)

Michigan's road series this season are at Illinois, Penn State, Indiana and Minnesota.  Three of those 4 road opponents will be very tough next season, the fourth will be Penn State.

Michigan's only games against MSU will be non-conference games--one away on April 14 (the schedule on the Michigan website is wrong, I think) and one home on May 5.

Other weekend home series will be against Canisius on March 13-15--wear your parkas for that one--and against Nevada on March 27-29.

A little disappointing on how much the home schedule is front-loaded, and the fact that 2 of the 3 biggest conference series (Indiana, Minnesota) will be on the road.  Nebraska will be the most important home weekend of the year.
