MSUB head coach Rob Bishop unveils his team’s 2016 schedule, as the Yellowjackets will set out to defend their 2015 GNAC regular season title beginning in February. BILLINGS, Mont. – The defending Great Northwest Athletic Conference champion Montana State University Billings baseball team will kick off its 2016 campaign in February, and the team’s full slate of 49 games has been announced by head coach Rob Bishop. “Our 2016 schedule will be a great challenge for our program,” commented Bishop, the 2015 GNAC Coach of the Year. “Playing Dixie State, Holy Names, and Metro State will give us a strong division two nonconference schedule, and the addition of Concordia to our league makes the GNAC even stronger than it has been.” Finishing the season at 27-23 and 22-10 in conference play in 2015, the Yellowjackets won 20 of their final 25 games to win their first-ever GNAC title and complete the first winning season since the baseball program was reinstated at MSUB prior to 2006.
