Aggies announce 2010 schedule: A 24-game, season-opening homestand and matchups with 12 NCAA Tournament teams highlight the 2010 Texas A&M baseball schedule, announced Tuesday by head coach Rob Childress.
The Aggies will play 40 of their 56 games at Olsen Field, where they have won 95 games over the last three seasons. In addition, half of A&M's games in 2010 will be against opponents who will be coming off trips to the NCAA Tournament.

The Aggies also will host Western Illinois (Feb. 26-28), Winthrop (March 5-7) and Washington State (March 12-14) to open the season.
A&M will open Big 12 play against Texas Tech at Olsen Field on March 19-21.
