Definitely a stronger schedule than last year. If we do our job, it'll position us well for an at-large bid.

Definitely will try to make the games in Fullerton, but that's not exactly the marquee series it once was...

Weird that we are only 31-30 lifetime against UTRGV but 34-13 against Tulane.

Another fun fact I saw on there is that Louisiana, Lamar, and I think UTRGV all had better RPI than Fullerton last year.

And we host the conference tournament…

The 2026 Baseball Fact Book says the record is 29-30-1

Aside from the 1-1 record in games played in 2023 & 2025, the rest were in 1966-1992.

66-71: 4-7 (assuming the first two games, shown as being played in 1996, were actually played in 1966.)
72-77: 7-2
78-83: 8-11-1
87: 3-0
90-91: 3-8
92: 3-1

Strong schedule. Kansas will be a great early test… huge bats. Maybe next year we’ll earn UT TCU A&M midweeks again.

The exhibition game vs A&M that was scheduled for last night, Oct. 2nd, has been re-scheduled for next Friday, Oct. 9th, 6 pm, at Blue Bell Park due to inclement weather forecasted for the area.

Apologies for being lazy and not googling, any word on live streaming or radio?

I couldn’t find anything on the Rice app or TexAgs. Admission and parking is free. The plan is to play 12-14 innings per TexAgs.

Just got a text from an Aggie buddy. He said “Your Owls are looking good.”

3-0 Rice T4.

In TexAgs Forums, you can find a thread on the scrimmage with a poor man’s play-by-play.

My Aggie friend is very complimentary of the defensive play of Bocachica at SS and Davis at 2B.

They’re playing 14, but Rice just won “game 1” 3-2. Both teams pulled starters after 7.

Owls up 2-0 in B1 of game 2, B8 of the cumulative 14.

Sounds like some Aggie pitching generosity in the T9 plates another Owl run.

Or 2 or 3.

The “pbp” on TexAgs leaves a lot to be desired. Especially wrt reporting the score.

Either 7-2 or 8-2 after 9.

Someone on TexAgs finally gave a score update - 7-2 Owls in the T11.

Is it 7-2 in game 2, or 7-2 cumulatively?

Cumulative. It’s 4-0 in gm2

8-2 T11

8-2 going to B11 after run scored on a PB.
