ANDERSON, S.C. – The Anderson University baseball team will play 10 contests in 2019 against four teams that reached the NCAA Division II Tournament last season, as the Trojans released their schedule on Thursday.

The Trojans earned back-to-back berths in the 2014 and 2015 South Atlantic Conference Tournaments and made a deep run in last year's conference tournament with upset wins over Lenoir-Rhyne, Catawba and Tusculum. AU will be seeking its fourth appearance in the SAC Championship in six seasons.

Anderson's schedule is tilted in favor of contests at Memorial Stadium, as the Trojans will play 30 home games – which is eclipsed only by the 32 home games played in both 1998 and 2001. The 2019 slate also features 20 games on the road and includes 26 nonconference matchups to go along with the 24 SAC games.

The schedule includes six opponents from Conference Carolinas, four Peach Belt Conference foes – with Augusta returning to the schedule after a one-year absence, a three-game home set against Alabama-Huntsville from the Gulf South Conference and a first-ever matchup against Benedict from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Anderson will play seven of its first eight games and 12 of its first 15 contests in the Electric City, while opening the 2019 schedule with a three-game homestand, marking the eighth time in 10 years that the Trojans have started the season in the friendly confines of Anderson Memorial Stadium.
