Â
GOLDEN, Colo. – The Colorado School of Mines baseball slate is locked in and opening day for the 2026 season is less than a month away.
Â
Mines begins its campaign with a road trip to California where the Orediggers will play a four-game series at Cal State San Marcos from January 30 to Feb. 1. Their home opener will be Friday, Feb. 6, as part of a split, non-conference weekend against Regis. After the home premier, Mines plays two at Regis on Feb. 7 and another single game at home on Feb. 8. Valentines Day brings a trip to Hays, Kan., for a three-game set at Fort Hays State. The Orediggers wrap early non-conference play against RMAC foe Colorado Christian on Feb. 27, 28, and March 1 at Jim Darden Field.
Â
Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action starts at home for Mines with Adams State in town March 6-8. Other home RMAC series include MSU Denver (March 20-22), CSU Pueblo (April 2-4), and Colorado Christian (April 24-26). The Orediggers travel to New Mexico Highlands (March 13-15), Colorado Mesa (March 27-29), Regis (April 10-12), and UCCS (April 17-19). They'll close the regular season with a non-conference road trip to MSU Billings, playing three games across two days May 1-2.
Â
The Orediggers enter the 2026 season with eighth-year head coach
Robby Bales at the helm. Under Bales, Mines will look to bounce back from a 2025 season that saw the Orediggers go 13-34 (8-22 RMAC). Live stats and streaming information for each game/series will be available at www.minesathletics.com.
