Worcester, MA- Second season Head Coach, Phil Price, is pleased to announce the 2024 Worcester State Baseball teams regular season schedule. The Lancers are looking to return to MASCAC postseason action after qualifying for play in Price’s first season. The Blue and Gold will have a depth of incoming talent to go along with their experienced veteran returners headed up by senior captain Ben Smith (Bourne, MA), the 2022 NCAA Statistical ERA leader, junior captain Tyler Smith (Leominster, MA) and senior captain Tom Halliwell (Leominster, MA).
“I’m really excited about the 2024 season,” says Price. “The new guys we brought in have added some energy to an already electric group. The players have created a great culture here. They genuinely enjoy being together as often as possible - off the field as much as on it. With the schedule we put together, we certainly have work to do, but the focus and dedication from the guys this off-season has been inspiring. Can’t wait to get on the field with them.”
The Lancers are scheduled to start their season at the start of March, in a pre-spring break battle, at the New England Baseball Complex on Saturday March 2nd when they welcome the Wheaton Lyons to the diamond. A short two weeks later Worcester State heads down to central Florida to participate in the RussMatt Spring Break Tournament from March 16th-23rd. The schedule currently has the Lancers meeting for single game sets with Roger Williams, Williams, St. Olaf and SUNY-Purchase while doubling up with St. Lawrence, Elmhurst and Amherst for the 10-game stretch down south. Worcester takes a short breather before returning to action once back in New England as they welcome Saint Joseph (CT.) to Kevin Lyons Diamond for the first genuine home game of the year. That following weekend the Lancers begin their post season play when they journey to MCLA on March 28th before welcoming them to Worcester for a double header on March 29th.
As Worcester rolls into April, they step back into non-conference action when they travel to Anna Maria, who will be joining the conference for the 2026 season, on April 2nd, before hosting Fisher College for their first of two home games with the Falcons on April 3rd. A three-game set with Westfield State will break up the Fisher matches as the Lancers travel west on April 5th and return home on the 6th for their double header set with the Owls. The Lancers then quickly shift back to their second meetup with the Falcons on the 9th. A quick turnaround will see Worcester head down into the Coast Guard Academy the following day before beginning a four-game conference stretch. On April 12th the squad heads to Framingham State before seeing that home for two on the 13th. April 15th will see the Lancers head to Fitchburg State for the annual Patriots Day noon matchup with the Falcons. In a breakup in the conference schedule, Worcester State will travel to Boston for a single game set with UMass-Boston on April 17th. The following weekend kicks off the next batch of conference games as Worcester welcomes Bridgewater State to campus on April 19th prior to journeying east for their double header set with the Bears on the 20th. The Lancers then welcome the Fitchburg Falcons to campus to close out their series on April 23rd. The Lancers then again take a step into the non-conference realm when they journey to Newport to face Salve Regina on April 24th before their next three conference games that will see them host Salem State on April 26th before journeying to the north shore for two games on the 27th.
In the final week of regular season action, Worcester State will host their final out-of-conference battle when they journey north to Keene State on May 1st. The Lancers close out their season against their MASCAC post season foe of 2023, welcoming Mass Maritime to campus on May 3rd. The game will additionally serve as Worcester State Baseball Senior Day to honor the contributions of the senior class to the program. Worcester will close out their season the following day in their final double header of the regular season when they journey to the Buccaneers.
