The AL champion Texas Rangers will be the first major league team to play in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The Rangers announced Tuesday that they will play an exhibition game against Coastal Carolina University on March 29 at the home of their new high Class-A team.
New Rangers managing partner Chuck Greenberg is also the managing partner of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. When that affiliation was announced in September, the date of the game was set, but the opponent wasn't revealed until Tuesday.
After breaking spring training from Arizona, the Rangers will play in Myrtle Beach, then play at new Triple-A team Round Rock before opening the regular season at home April 1 against Boston.
