Currently winless in Pac-12 conference play, Cal will take on USC at home for a three-game series.

Cal sits at 8-6 after dropping three in a row to Arizona, falling victim to the Wildcats’ offense and solid pitching performances.

The Bears go from one Wildcat team to the next after defeating Villanova and now trekking to the desert to play three games against Arizona. See who takes the cake in Cal’s first Pac-12 series of the season.

With the Bears losing the majority of the games they played at the Frisco Classic this past weekend, Neu believes the win will provide a momentum shift as his team is set to begin competition against Pac-12 opponents in the upcoming weeks.

Returning from a 1-2 performance at the Frisco Classic held in Frisco, Texas, the Cal men’s baseball team looks to bounce back into the win column as it takes on Villanova March 7 at its home Stu Gordon Stadium.

Cal men’s baseball is headed to Frisco, Texas, to take on Oklahoma, Ohio State and Mississippi State in the Frisco Classic.

Cal rode fantastic pitching and a couple clutch hits to another three wins across Friday and Saturday, before stormy weather on Sunday forced a rain-out after three innings of play.

The first inning grand slam against No. 2 Stanford, courtesy of hot-hitting Carson Crawford, was the highlight of a fantastic opening weekend for Cal. This was just one of numerous plays that went Cal’s way in a nearly perfect start to the 2023 season.

Coach Neu’s pitching staff took a major step back in 2022, but a dominant start to the season from sophomore Ian May and company gives hope that Cal is rediscovering its pitching identity.

Cal men’s baseball will start out the season traveling to Houston to take on the Cougars, followed by a Bay Area rivalry matchup against the Cardinal.
