The annual spring break trip for Purdue baseball is always a busy one. The Boilers often have a traditional weekend series in a far flung locale, followed by a couple of midweek games there and another weekend series on the back end. Last season Purdue played 8 games out in California against Cal State Northridge and Santa Clara. This year Purdue heads to Louisiana before picking up three games in St. Louis next week. This eight game stretch, followed by a Tuesday, March 20 game, mark some of the first true road games of the year. It also leads into the home opener at Alexander Field on March 23rd against Lipscomb.
