Little Rock Baseball Unveils 2023 Schedule

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – With a new season just a few months away Little Rock Head Coach Chris Curry has announced the Trojans' 2023 baseball schedule. The 56-game slate is the maximum number allowed by the NCAA and consists of 32 home games which matches the number of home games from the 2022 season. In its inaugural Ohio Valley Conference season, Little Rock will host series against Lindenwood, UT Martin, SIU-Edwardsville and Tennessee Tech.
 
2023 Little Rock Baseball Schedule
 
"We have another great schedule for the Little Rock baseball fans," Curry said. "With 32 home games and our ESPN+ package, the 2023 season will be a great opportunity for fans to follow the Trojans very closely. We are excited about the Ohio Valley Conference slate and expect it to be challenging. Our non-conference opponents consist of the defending national champions and a trip to Fayetteville along with our in-state rivalries from past years. With 25 new players on our team, we are excited to embrace the challenge of this schedule and think it will be one that can set us up for a post-season run."
