SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Next season's second weekend became clearer as the Spartanburg College Baseball Series unveiled the round-robin slate for the Indiana baseball program on Monday (Sept. 21) afternoon. The Hoosiers will close out the month of February with games against UNCW, Wofford and Austin Peay in South Carolina.
IU was announced as a member of this tournament back in the summer but will now know its dates and opponents. Head coach Jeff Mercer and his group will open the weekend against UNCW (Friday, Feb. 26 – 1:30 p.m.) before wrapping up with Wofford (Saturday, Feb. 27 – 6 p.m.) and Austin Peay (Sunday, Feb. 28 – 10:30 a.m.). IU will be the visitors in the first two games and serve as the designated home team to end the weekend.
The Hoosiers have been accustomed to playing these early season, regional-like tournaments under Mercer. Since 2022, IU has played in Jacksonville (2026), Cary (2025), Frisco (2024), Greenville (2023) and Round Rock (2022) against some of the best programs in the country. As it stands, this is one of three Minor League ballparks that IU will play in during the 2027 campaign.
With the announcement of the Spartanburg College Baseball Series schedule, 11 of IU's 14 weekends for the 2027 season are now public. The rest of next year's slate will be unveiled later in the fall.
