UCF baseball fans will get to enjoy free admission for the first game of the season on Friday.
The UCF Knights baseball team will take the field against Siena at 6:30 p.m. at Jay Bergman Field. Junior LHP Eric Skoglund will take the mound for the Knights, looking to start off the season and three game series against Siena with a win. Skoglund will be opposed by Siena’s Matt Gage, who defeated Skoglund in their head-to-head matchup last season.
UCF has never lost an opening night game in Head Coach Terry Rooney’s tenure, with a perfect 5-0-0 record that they will look to extend. The Knights are 39-4 all-time against Siena and currently hold a 14-3 opening weekend record since 2009.
The Knights will have a new look to their team this season, with 24 of the 35 man roster being newcomers. It will also be the first season that the Knights are playing in the American Athletic Conference, with home series’ scheduled against Florida State and Louisville.
