Baseball Announces 2010 Schedule

HARROGATE, TN --  Lincoln Memorial University Head Baseball Coach has released the schedule for the upcoming 2010 season. 

"This year's schedule is without question our toughest ever," says Sziksai.  "In addition to an extremely competitive conference schedule, our non-conference schedule is outstanding.  Our players and coaches love to compete, and this schedule gives us that chance every day.  We want to take this program to the next level, and playing a top notch schedule will allow us a chance to do that."

The 2010 campaign will see the Railsplitters play 13 contests against six different opponents that appeared in the NCAA national tournament last year, including region games against the top three teams from the Peach Belt Conference.  In non-conference action, LMU will travel to USC-Aiken for three games, and face Georgia College and Francis Marion in the Lander Invitational in February.  Inside the South Atlantic Conference, the Railsplitters will host Tusculum College and Catawba College, both national tournament participants from a year ago.  In midweek action, the Railsplitters will host Northern Kentucky University, who also made the national tournament last year.  In addition, the 'Splitters will also host conference opponents Newberry College and Lenoir-Rhyne, while traveling to Carson Newman, Brevard, Mars Hill and Wingate. 

When asked about this year's schedule, Sziksai remarked, "Our players and coaches are hungry to keep getting better.  Playing quality opponents will raise everyone’s game, and help us to maintain a high level of focus throughout the year.  It is the toughest schedule we have ever had at LMU, but that is what everyone within the program wants…..a chance to compete at the highest level we can.  "

The Railsplitters open the 2010 schedule against USC-Aiken on February 5th in Aiken, South Carolina.  First pitch is slated for 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
