ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis baseball has released its 2016 schedule. The Billikens have 55 games on the docket with 25 home contests.
“I look forward to our non conference schedule as it will prepare us for Atlantic 10 Conference competition,” head coach Darin Hendrickson said. “We have three 2015 super regional teams (Illinois, Missouri State and VCU) on the slate for seven games, and we open at a great venue in Las Vegas against BYU. The Kansas tournament gives us two games against Big 12 and Big Ten competition. We play a home-and-home with OVC champion SEMO and MVC opponents Missouri State, Southern Illinois and Illinois State also are on the schedule. We travel to Richmond and to VCU in what will be six tough road A-10 games.”
