STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Tarleton State Baseball will host four games this fall in Stephenville, and all fans are invited to attend for free.
The Texans will open their fall slate on Oct. 9 against McLennan CC at 2 p.m. at the Tarleton State Baseball Complex. They will then host Blinn College on Oct. 16 at 3 p.m., Midland College on Oct. 23 at 2 p.m., and Weatherford College on Oct. 30 at 2 p.m.
Tarleton State will look to build off of a historic season in 2026. The Texans posted their third most wins in a single-season in program history, and their most wins since 1992, finishing 38-21 overall with a 12-6 conference record. The Texans won an outright WAC regular season title, then rolled through the WAC Tournament by a combined score of 35-14 in three games to win the automatic qualifying bid into the NCAA Tournament. To begin their run in the NCAA Austin Regional, the Texans beat UC Santa Barbara 11-5, their first NCAA postseason win since 2014 and their first NCAA Regional opening win in their fifth ever appearance. It was their first NCAA Regionals appearance in their D1 era, as they became the first team in the last nine years to win its NCAA Division I Tournament debut.
Head coach
Fuller Smith will lead the Texans in the fall slate as he enters his fourth season at the helm of Tarleton State Baseball. He signed a four-year contract extension in July that ties him to Tarleton State through the 2031 season.
