The program announced its 2015 schedule via its Twitter account Wednesday afternoon. IU will play its first competitive games with new coach Chris Lemonis in a three-game series at Stanford, which is part of a 12-game stretch on the road to begin the season.

IU’s non-conference schedule is strong, with perennial powers Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton and Louisville joining Stanford to test the new-look Hoosiers.

As part of their non-conference schedule, the Hoosiers will play in the Snowbird Baseball Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla., from March 6 to 8.

The annual classic brings together Division I and Division III teams from across the country for a series of competitive early-season contests.

The Hoosiers will return to Bart Kaufman Field on March 10 with a two-game weekday series against Northern Illinois before opening Big Ten play two weeks later.

IU’s attempt at a third-consecutive conference championship kicks off March 20 to 22 when it travels to Penn State for a weekend series.

The Big Ten Tournament is scheduled for May 20 through 24 in Minneapolis, with the NCAA Tournament regional round beginning May 29.
