SAN JOSE, Calif. - Rain continues to wreak havoc to the San José State University baseball's schedule as the Spartans' home opener will be played at Billy Hebert Stadium in Stockton, Calif. on Thursday, February 23 at 5:00 p.m. PT. The Spartans open up against BYU Cougars of the West Coast Conference.
Municipal Stadium, home to the 2017 Spartans, is unplayable due to the relentless rain the area has experienced recently. This after Spartans' season opening series against UCLA was cut short by a game last weekend due to rain.

#OmahaKnows
"Omaha Knows" is the SJSU baseball program motto. What matters is what you do when nobody is watching. But Omaha, Nebraska, home of the College World Series, is always watching. Omaha knows how you went about your business. Spartan fans will see the hashtag #OmahaKnows attached to social media posts throughout the baseball season.
