The TAMUK baseball team will kick off the 2020 season with a three-game series against the Oklahoma Christian Eagles (OCU) Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 in Kings- ville at Nolan Ryan Field.
2019 saw the Blue and Gold prevail 10-5 in their only outing against the Ea- gles at the Alpine Fresh 4-Him Classic in Cleburne, Texas.
Saturday’s series marks the first Lone Star Conference (LSC) matchup for Oklahoma Christian. After a 28-20 outing last spring, the Eagles are one of six teams transitioning into the LSC from the now-disbanded Heartland Conference.
LSC coaches and sports information directors placed the Javelinas in the 4th place slot in their annual presea- son poll on Jan. 22. Voters garnished TAMUK with 371 total points and one first-place nod. Oklahoma Christian fell into the 8th-place position, picking up 216 points.
Jason Gonzalez, TAMUK’s all-time winningest coach, enters his 12th sea- son at the helm of the program. Some 18 players return from the 2019 team that finished 30-20, losing in the LSC Baseball Championship to West Texas A&M.
