LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Bellarmine University baseball team is set for a 56-game schedule in its first season under new head coach Ben Reel.

Bellarmine will host 20 games in its 2025 slate, with 15 of those being Atlantic Sun Conference contests. The Knights' total ASUN calendar spans 30 games, with BU meeting its five fellow members of the Gold Division twice apiece.

HOME SERIES
All five of Bellarmine's three-game home series will come in ASUN play. The Knights will welcome Eastern Kentucky (20-37, 14-16 ASUN last season) from March 14-16, Austin Peay State (36-21, 20-10) from March 28-30, Central Arkansas (26-30, 12-18) from April 11-13, North Alabama (18-35-1, 10-19-1) from April 17-19 and Lipscomb (22-34, 15-15) from May 9-11.

HOME MIDWEEK GAMES
Bellarmine will host five midweek games this season. Four will come ahead of ASUN play and the fifth and final directly follows the very first conference series. A Feb. 19 contest against Akron (15-39) represents the Knights' 2025 home opener. BU will also welcome Dayton (33-22) on Feb. 26, Eastern Illinois (20-33) and Southern Indiana (27-32) on consecutive days March 11-12, and OVC Tournament runner-up Morehead State (37-24) on March 18 in the Knights' last home midweek game.

ROAD SERIES
Bellarmine will brace for nine road series, the first four in nonconference play before five in ASUN competition. The Knights open the season Feb. 14-16 at Troy (37-22) and follow consecutively in weekend action Feb. 21-23 at reigning Horizon League Tournament and NCAA Tournament participant Northern Kentucky (35-24), Feb. 28-March 2 at Charleston Southern (22-32) and March 7-9 at Southern Illinois (33-27). BU's subsequent road series are all in ASUN play, March 21-23 at Lipscomb, April 4-6 at North Alabama, April 25-27 at Central Arkansas, May 2-4 at Austin Peay State and May 15-17 at Eastern Kentucky.

ROAD MIDWEEK GAMES
Bellarmine is looking at nine midweek road games this season. The first is March 4 at Dayton, whom the Knights will face for the second time in a week. BU's next midweek road contest isn't until March 25 at Indiana (33-26-1), which was an NCAA Tournament team last season, but the midweek road outings are regular from there. The Knights will play April 1 at MAC Tournament runner-up Ball State (35-23-1), April 8 at Murray State (37-20) and April 15 at reigning national champion Tennessee (60-13). BU will compete on consecutive days April 22-23 at Miami Ohio (27-27) and Southern Indiana, May 7 at Morehead State and May 13 at Louisville (32-24).
