WVU moves some games to Consol

2 min read

The opening of the Monongalia County Ballpark has been delayed so West Virginia University’s baseball team will play some games at Consol Energy Park.

The Mountaineers’ game against Waynesburg has been cancelled but WVU will play Akron Tuesday at Consol. First pitch is at 7 p.m.

The series against Charleston Southern from March 27-29 also has been moved to Consol. The Friday game begins at noon, Saturday’s game is at 7 p.m. and Sunday’s finale is at noon.

“We are excited to be able to finalize our plans for our scheduled March home games as work continues on our beautiful new ballpark. After reviewing our available options, we felt taking advantage of the opportunity presented to play at Consol Energy Park in Washington was our best option,” said WVU Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs Matt Wells. “A special thanks goes to Steve Zavacky and Wayne Herrod from the Washington Wild Things front office for their assistance in making this opportunity happen. We look forward to playing these games and are hopeful Mountaineer fans in the surrounding area will be excited to have an opportunity to see the Mountaineers take the field.”

Tickets will cost $5 at the gate and all seating will be general admission.

All previously purchased tickets, either as season tickets or single game tickets, for the affected games will be honored for admission to the games at Consol. All seating for these previously purchased tickets will be general admission for the games in Washington.

“Our team is excited about the opportunity to be able to sleep in their own beds after spending what will be six straight weekends on the road by the time the Charleston Southern series rolls around,” WVU coach Randy Mazey said. “I appreciate the effort of our administration and the Washington Wild Things front office staff to put this revised schedule together.”
