Happening This Week in Red Fox Baseball....
The Red Foxes will get their regular season underway this week, after a rather impressive preseason run. "We worked hard on our offense during the open-season and I think it showed during the tournament. Now, I hope we can continue to score runs when the regular season opens on Tuesday."

The Foxes will be back in action on Friday, as they host Marlboro County in their home regular season opener. Game time is 6pm.
