Christendom Baseball Unveils 2026 Schedule

Front Royal, Va. – The Christendom College baseball team has announced its upcoming schedule as the Crusaders prepare for the 2026 season under second-year head coach Vince Amuso. Returning nearly the entire roster from last year, Christendom enters the spring with continuity, proven production, and expectations of competing at a high level throughout the season.

The Crusaders open the season with a three-game series at Penn State Fayette on February 28–March 1. Christendom then returns home March 3 for a doubleheader against Kent State Tuscarawas, followed by a busy opening homestand March 6–7 featuring Penn State Schuylkill and Penn State Shenango. ESAC play begins March 13 with a road doubleheader at Bucks County, followed by a March 14 twin bill at Williamson. A midweek matchup at Virginia State on March 17 precedes a challenging road stretch against Central Penn (March 20) and Penn State Schuylkill (March 21).

Christendom returns home March 24 for a doubleheader against Virginia State before hosting a four-game weekend series with MACU from March 28–29. The Crusaders continue their home slate with Penn State Mont Alto on March 31, followed by ESAC home doubleheaders against Bucks County (April 10), Penn State Schuylkill (April 12), and Williamson (April 18). The regular season wraps up with home games against Central Penn on April 19 before closing on the road at Penn State Mont Alto (April 21) and a three-game series at MACU from April 25–26.

Season Outlook

With all but one player returning from last season, the Crusaders bring back one of the most experienced and productive lineups in the conference. Junior Paul Amuso (.382 batting average) and senior Gus Coleman (.345 batting average, 37 RBI) headline the roster after earning Honorable Mention All-American recognition last season. Junior Joe Romero also returns after an outstanding year at the plate, hitting .369 with 36 RBI, providing consistent run production in the heart of the order.

Sophomore Rowland Thornberry adds power and depth after driving in 22 runs with three home runs as a freshman, while senior catcher Peter Sullivan returns healthy after recording 16 RBI despite missing half of last season due to injury. With strong leadership, offensive firepower, and familiarity with Coach Amuso's system, Christendom enters the season poised for another competitive campaign and a push toward postseason contention.
