Baseball coach Ritch Price announced his team’s 2010 schedule Thursday, which has the team playing 30 games against 2009 NCAA tournament teams — including defending national champion LSU.

Kansas will play 13 games against teams ranked in Baseball America’s 2009 final Top 25 poll. In addition to 25 games at Hoglund Ballpark, Kansas will play at Kauffman Stadium for the annual Border Showdown against Missouri April 21 and will travel to Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. in what will be the historic stadium’s final year of existence.

“Our players are really looking forward to our 2010 schedule,” Price said in a prepared statement. “It’s going to be one of the toughest in America, but we’re looking forward to some of the special places we get to play.”

For the first time since 2002, Kansas opens the season at home with a three-game series against Eastern Michigan Feb. 19-21 before wrapping up its first homestand with its annual game against Wichita State Feb. 23.

Kansas will also participate in the Peoria Spring Training Classic in Peoria, Ariz., the spring training home of the Seattle Mariners. Kansas’ Big 12 series opener will be at Baylor, March 26-28.
