Autumn Action 

 

Many college baseball fans won’t have to wait until February to get to see their teams in action. Many schools are playing exhibition games this fall.

 

Most teams have their own Fall World Series. Virginia is in the midst of its Orange and Blue World Series. Ohio has its Green & White Series the final weekend in October. But many schools are playing outside competition this autumn.

 

With the uniform start date initiated this past season, programs have a smaller window to work in their 56-game schedule. Many are playing fewer games in the spring and electing to have fall exhibition contests.

 

Many have already played some games. Massachusetts has played Vermont and Bryant. Iowa has met Iowa Central and Iowa Western. VCU faced Richmond. Here is a list of upcoming exhibition contests. We will add to this list as we find out about other games.
