Head coach Ed Blankmeyer released St. john’s baseball’s 2018 schedule on Wednesday, a home and road slate which begins with seven straight games back in the state of North Carolina.
After that southern journey, the Red Storm will return home to make most of the renovations of their home ballpark with games aimed to get the squad back to the NCAA Tournament.
A new artificial turf playing surface should make the field better able to withstand harsh early spring weather in the city during March. As a result, the team will play 26 home games.
Countless tons of dirt and grass have been dug up and are now being cleared from The Jack.
