The Mustangs will play Manhattanville College in an exhibition doubleheader on Sunday, March 3, before opening the regular season down in Myrtle Beach, S.C. at the Ripken Experience, beginning March 9.

The JV baseball team was scheduled to host SUNY Adirondack for a doubleheader at Roberto Clemente State Park in the Bronx on Saturday, but those games have been canceled. The Mustangs will open 2019 on Saturday, March 9, with a doubleheader at Westchester Community College.
