Washington State University Cougar baseball will have 14
games televised on the Pac-12 Networks in 2019, the network announced Thursday.
Under the direction of fourth-year head coach Marty Lees,
Washington State returns four position starters and added the No. 32 ranked
recruiting class that featured 10 All-State selections including a pair of
pitchers who chose to attend WSU after being selected in the 2018 Major League
Baseball Draft.
The Cougars open the 2019 season with a pair of road trips
to northern California beginning with a four-games series against Saint Mary’s
College in Moraga, Calif. Feb. 15-17. Last season, WSU split a four-game series
with the Gaels in Pullman. The following week, the Cougars return to northern
California for a four-game series at Santa Clara (Feb. 21-24). WSU swept a
three-game series with the Broncos in Pullman last season.
Washington State opens its home slate the final day of
February with a four-game series against Nevada (Feb. 28-March 3) and continues
the homestand the following week with a three-game series with Cal State
Northridge (March 8-10). WSU owns a 11-5 all-time record against Nevada who
will be making their first trip to Bailey-Brayton Field. The Cougars welcome
CSUN back to Pullman for the second time in three seasons after WSU took three
of four from the Matadors in 2017 at Bailey-Brayton.
In mid-March the Cougars will hit the road for nine straight
games beginning with a two-game set at UNLV (March 12-13). WSU will make their
Pac-12 Network 2019 debut later that week during the opening weekend of
conference play when the final two games of the weekend series at Arizona State
(March 15-17) will be televised. The following week, Washington State heads to
southern California for a three-game nonconference series at UC Irvine (March 22-24)
and a single game at Loyola Marymount (March 25). WSU will face UC Irvine for
the first time since 2012 and will match up against LMU for the second time in
the last three seasons after splitting a four-game series with the Lions in
2017.
The final weekend of March will see WSU host Stanford (March
29-31) followed by the season’s first meeting with Gonzaga, April 2 in Pullman.
The Cougars head to Berkeley for a three-game series with California (April
5-7) with all three games on the Pac-12 Networks. WSU returns home for four
games beginning with a nonconference matchup against Seattle U (April 9)
followed by a three-game series against Oregon (April 12-14).
In mid-April, the Cougars will play seven straight away from
Bailey-Brayton Field beginning with a series at USC (April 18-20), followed by
a matchup at Gonzaga (April 23) before heading to Corvallis to face defending
national champion Oregon State (April 26-28).
Washington State opens the month of May with a home series
against rival Washington with all three games on the Pac-12 Networks (May 3-5).
The Cougars will face Gonzaga (May 6) in Spokane before hosting UCLA (May
10-12) at Bailey-Brayton Field.
The final road trip of the season will come in mid-May with
a trip to the state of Utah. The Cougars open the week with a nonconference
matchup at Utah Valley (May 14) followed by a three-game series at Utah (May
16-18) with all three games televised on the Pac-12 Networks. Washington State
will close out the regular season hosting Arizona (May 23-25), also with all
three games on the Pac-12 Networks.
