St John’s upcoming baseball games
The St John’s Baseball Team has a busy schedule this season, with games against some of the best teams in the country. Here are some of the games to watch out for:
March 3: St John’s vs Duke
March 7: St John’s vs UCLA
March 10: St John’s vs USC
March 17: St John’s vs Vanderbilt
Key games to Watch This Season
St. John’s will be looking to build on last year’s success, when the team went to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1980. The Red Storm will have their work cut out for them in the Big East but there are a few key games early in the season that will be critical for their chances at making a return trip to the postseason. Here are three games to keep an eye on:
March 3 vs. Georgetown: St. John’s proved they could hang with the big dogs last season when they took down then-No. 4 Villanova at home. They’ll have another opportunity to make a statement early in conference play when they host Georgetown. The Hoyas finished just ahead of the Red Storm in the standings last year and are always a tough out. This will be a good measuring stick game for St. John’s to see where they stack up against one of the other contenders in the Big East
April 7 vs. Butler: Butler has been one of the best teams in the conference over the past few years, and they always seem to find a way to give St. John’s fits. The Bulldogs swept the Red Storm last season, and it was one of only two conference series losses for St. John’s all year. They’ll have a chance to exact some revenge at home in what should be another closely contested matchup between two evenly matched teams.
May 12-14 vs. Seton Hall Seton Hall is another team that finished just ahead of St. John’s in the standings last season, and this three-game series could go a long way towards deciding who goes to the NCAA Tournament and who stays home come Selection Sunday. The Pirates have been one of the most consistent teams in the conference over the past few years, but St. John’s has proven they can hang with anyone on their home turf. This series will be must-see baseball for any fan of the Red Storm
Why these games matter
This season, the St. John baseball team will be playing several games that their fans won’t want to miss. Here’s a look at why these games matter:
-The season opener is always a big deal, and this year it’s even more so because it’s against the rival team. It’ll be the first chance for fans to see how the team has been doing in the off-season and to get hyped up for the rest of the season.
-Another game to watch is when St. John takes on its conference rival. This is always a close and exciting game, and it’s a good chance to see how the team measures up against its toughest competition.
-The last game of the season is also worth watching, as it could determine whether or not St. John makes it to the playoffs. A win in this game could mean a spot in the postseason, so it’ll be a tense and thrilling match-up.
The story so far
St. John’s began their season with a thrilling come-from-behind victory over conference rival Georgetown, 7-6. The team went on to win their next four games, including another dramatic walk-off win, this time against Butler. The Red Storm then travelled to Clearwater, Florida for their annual spring training trip. They won all seven games on the trip, including a 9-1 rout of Louisville. After returning to Queens, St. John’s continued their winning ways with a three-game sweep of Virginia Commonwealth at home.
With a 13-1 record, St. John’s has been one of the surprise teams in college baseball so far this season. Here are some key games to keep an eye on as the Red Storm look to continue their winning ways:
Tuesday, April 9th at home against Fordham
The Red Storm haven’t lost to the Rams since 2014, but Fordham will be looking to end that streak this year. This game will also be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks, so it’ll be a great opportunity for St. John’s to showcase their talents to a national audience.
Friday-Sunday, April 12th-14th on the road against Xavier
This will be St. John’s first true road test of the season as they travel to Cincinnati to take on Xavier. The Musketeers are always tough at home, so it’ll be a good measuring stick for the Red Storm as they continue their Conference Schedule
Tuesday, April 23rd at home against crosstown rival NYU
This game needs no explanation – it’s simply one of the biggest rivalries in college baseball These two teams always play each other close regardless of record or circumstances, so you can bet that both sides will be fired up for this one.

What to expect from the rest of the season
As the St. John’s baseball season winds down, there are a few key games that fans should keep an eye on. With the Red Storm currently sitting at 19-16 overall and 5-9 in the Big East Conference they will need to make a strong push in order to boost their conference record and secure a spot in the postseason.
Here are three crucial games that could make or break St. John’s baseball’s season:
May 10th vs Xavier: Xavier is currently ahead of St. John’s in the Conference Standings so this game is pivotal for the Red Storm if they want to have a chance at making the conference tournament
May 24th vs Creighton: This is another critical game for St. John’s, as they are currently behind Creighton in the conference standings. A win here would help them close the gap and put them in a better position to qualify for the conference tournament
June 1st vs Seton Hall Seton Hall is one of the best teams in the Big East so this game will be a tough test for St. John’s. However, if they can pull off an upset against Seton Hall it would go a long way in helping them improve their postseason chances.
