Challenges Await Roadrunners In Last Year As Independent…
Cal State Bakersfield has released its 2012 college baseball schedule. The Roadrunners open their season Feb. 17-19 when they host a three game series with Kansas State. They continue a seven game season-opening homestand with a Feb. 21 game against Fresno State and a three game series against UC-Davis.
The Division One Independent program concludes the month of February with a two game set at UNLV.
Home opponents in the month of March include Portland, Sacramento State and Air Force. CSB hits the road that month for series at Fresno State, USC, and Washington as well as a single game at UC Santa Barbara.
The Roadrunners head to Santa Barbara again in early April. They also travel to Cal State Northridge, UC Riverside, and Nebraska during the month. April home contests are a three game series with Santa Clara and a single game vs. USC.
May begins with a three game series at North Carolina State followed by three games at Cal Poly and three games at UC Irvine. Home opponents in May are Cal Poly, Santa Barbara (twice), New Mexico State, Northridge, and Utah.
The 2012 season will be Cal State Bakersfield’s last as an independent. The Roadrunners will join the WAC for the 2012-2013 academic year.
