SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford head baseball coach Todd Interdonato announced today the schedule for the upcoming 2023 baseball season. The season opens on Friday, Feb. 17 at Russell C. King Field.
 
Wofford's schedule features a challenging non-conference slate in preparation for the grind of Southern Conference play. To be the best you have to beat the best as the old saying goes, and Wofford will look to do just that as non-conference play features four teams that made last season's NCAA Tournament – Georgia, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Wake Forest. A fifth Power Five team in Michigan State is on the slate in a neutral site contest at Fluor Field, home of the Greenville Drive and the SoCon Tournament.
 
"This year's schedule has new opponents, six road weekends, top-25 teams and some of the best mid-major teams in the country both in and out of SoCon play," said Interdonato of the 2023 schedule. "The league will continue to get better each year, and our strength of schedule outside of conference play needs to continue to prepare us to compete for SoCon Championships. Our players are looking forward to the challenge this year will bring, and they will do what is needed to be prepared to begin on February 17."
