CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.– Southeast Missouri will play a 56-game schedule with 32 contests at Capaha Field during its upcoming 2020 season.

The Redhawks face Sun Belt Conference UL Monroe (Feb. 14-16), Southeastern Conference member Kentucky (Feb. 18) and Mid-American Conference affiliate Ohio University (Feb. 28-Mar. 1) for the first time in program history. SEMO heads to UL Monroe for a three-game series to start its 62nd baseball season of all-time.
After that, the Redhawks visit Kentucky (Feb. 18), one of two SEC opponents on their schedule this year.
Back-to-back four-game series against Northern Illinois (Feb. 21-23) and Ohio follow that for SEMO's longest home stand of 2020.

During the offseason, Capaha Field received several major renovations. New amenities for this year include chairback seating in the grandstands, a first-base plaza, a Home Run Deck in right field, a private Dugout Club and much more.
