"This year's schedule gives our team a fantastic opportunity to compete against some very good baseball teams," said ETSU Head Coach Joe Pennucci. "I feel like our pre-conference schedule will make us better prior to Southern Conference play!"

BOUNTIFUL NUMBER OF HOME GAMES FOR THE BUCS TO START 2025
The Buccaneer baseball team will open the 2025 campaign with a three-game series versus Northern Kentucky on February 14-16. It will be the 15^th straight season that the Bucs have started a season at home. Furthermore, the Bucs will play the first six weekends at Thomas Stadium.

Seven of ETSU's 54 games will be against power conference teams. The Bucs' first road game will be on February 18 at Virginia Tech. ETSU will welcome another ACC team, Pittsburgh, to Johnson City for a three-game series from March 7-9. It'll be the first time an ACC team has played at Thomas Stadium since 2021 when Virginia Tech visited Johnson City. Speaking of the Hokies, they'll come to play on ETSU's home field on April 15. ETSU will also have road games at SEC foes Georgia (March 11) and defending national champion Tennessee (March 18).
