MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For the second straight season, West Virginia and Pitt will renew their rivalry in a Major League-setting.
The Mountaineers and Panthers will face off at PNC Park on Wednesday, April 29.
“The Pirates are thrilled to have another opportunity to host these two great baseball programs at PNC Park,” said Pirates president Travis Williams. “Giving the community a unique chance to watch this rivalry and to be able to offer our venue as a place to showcase local collegiate baseball is an exciting opportunity for us and another way to support our sport in the region.”
WVU and Pitt will play three times next season. The teams will meet at Pitt’s on-campus stadium on March 31 and Monongalia County Ballpark on May 12.
West Virginia heads into 2020 looking to build on what was arguably the greatest season in program history after hosting a regional for the first time in more than 60 years.
