Baylor baseball’s road to redemption starts at Globe Life Field

By Foster Nicholas | Sports Writer

After waiting in the on-deck circle for a couple of months, Baylor baseball is back on the Brazos River. The Bears will open the season with the 2024 Shriners Children’s College Showdown at Globe Life Field in Arlington this weekend. They will face Nebraska at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oregon at 11 a.m. on Saturday and No. 9 Tennessee at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.

With a year under his belt, head coach Mitch Thompson enters year two with a new motto: “To be the best, you have to beat the best.” And the Bears will get a chance to do just that as the first month of their season features the most difficult schedule in Division I, based on last year’s win percentage and RPI.
