The Rainbow Warriors will play Hawaii Pacific and Hawaii Hilo in addition to a full Big West schedule. In the ‘Bows’ first eight seasons of Big West membership, each league series was three games. This year, the Big West has set each weekend series at four games, with nine-inning doubleheaders on Saturdays.
“With all that’s transpired over the past year, the opportunity to get back on the field and play baseball is truly a blessing,” head coach Mike Trapasso said in a news release. “The pandemic obviously affected our non-conference schedule this season, but we’re excited to open up at Arizona State, one of college baseball’s premier programs.”
Trapasso, who is entering his 20th season as UH head coach, has scheduled road games against top teams in recent years. In 2014, the ‘Bows played at Texas. Last year, the ‘Bows went to Nashville to face then-No. 2 Vanderbilt.
