East Carolina's baseball team will play 35 home games, including the sixth annual Keith LeClair Classic, during the 2009 season.

The Pirates face 19 teams which recorded 30 or more wins a season ago, including nine which topped the 40-win plateau. Eleven opponents earned a bid to the 2008 NCAA regionals with two advancing to the College World Series.

ECU opens its 2009 schedule at home Feb. 20 against Monmouth (N.J.). The three-game series kicks off a stretch of eight consecutive home games, which includes the LeClair Classic from Feb. 27-Mar. 1.

The Pirates start Conference USA play March 20 against UCF.
