LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Nearly a year ago, BU Baseball lost the remainder of their 2020 season due to the COVID-19 shutdown. 

Today, the Eagles get the chance to step back onto Eagles Diamond as they open up the season and PacWest play with a two-game series against long time rivals and pre-season No. 8 Azusa Pacific on Mar. 19. The Eagles will head to Azusa Pacific on Mar. 20 for two games as they continue opening weekend action. 

2021 PacWest DH Protocol
PacWest double header play will feature one nine-inning game followed by one seven-inning game. 

Players to Watch
Pitcher: Larson Kindreich 
Kindreich, a left-handed pitcher was off to a great start in 2020. In five starts and 30 innings for Coach Calhoon, the 6 foot 4 freshman did not allow an earned-run to start the year. Kindreich looks to build off his shortened 2020 and start off this sophomore campaign strong. 

Position Player: Johnny Sage
After spending two years at Purdue, the DI bounceback looks to make his highly anticipated BU debut. Sage was the Boilermaker's starting right fielder in 2019 and 2020 and collected base hits in 11 of his first 13 games in a Purdue uniform.
