With opening day five weeks away for the three-time defending Southland Conference baseball champion Bearkats, season tickets for the 2015 campaign at Don Sanders Stadium are now on sale.
Reserved chairback seats behind home plate are $200 each. The price includes a $100 donation to the Bearkat Champions fund.
General admission bleacher season tickets are $125 and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Both season packages include tickets to all 25 events at Don Sanders Stadium, a discounted price lower than purchasing by the game, the opportunity to earn Bearkat Champion priority points and access to exclusive events and priority towards seating for NCAA postseason events.
All 2014 baseball season ticket holders will be receiving their season ticket invoice for their renewal. Season ticket holders will have until Friday, January 30 to renew their same seat location.
The Bearkats will open the season at home, Feb. 13, with a three-game series against seven-time College World Series participant Wichita State.
The Shockers have a rich baseball history, playing in the NCAA Tournament 28 times and winning the National Championship in 1989. In the only meeting between the two teams, Wichita State swept a three-game series in Kansas in 2004.
For the fourth consecutive season, Sam Houston will play a home-and-home series with Baylor, Houston and Rice. Over the last three years the Kats are 3-3 against Baylor, 3-3 against Houston and 5-2 against Rice.
Texas A&M will return to “The Don” for the first time since 2013, when the Bearkats won 9-8 in 11 innings. Outfielder Hayden Simerly was 3-for-5 with a three-run homer in the game. SHSU is 3-3 against the Aggies over the last six meetings.
Sam Houston will open defense of its three-straight Southland titles at home against New Orleans (March 6-8).
The New Orleans Privateers as well as Nicholls, Incarnate Word, A&M-Corpus Christi and Lamar will play in Huntsville this season.
New Bearkat head coach Matt Deggs and his staff return 23 players from a squad that won a third straight Southland regular season title. Those veterans will be joined by 17 newcomers from the high school, junior college and university ranks.
