PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — MLB and the MLBPA officially announced Thursday the relocation of the Sunday, Aug. 20 game between the Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals from PNC Park to Williamsport, Pa.
The game will air on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball (at 7 p.m. instead of the usual 8 p.m.) and coincide with the Little League World Series.
“I think it will be a great opportunity for us to connect with another generation of fans,” manager Clint Hurdle said in a statement.
Little League World Series participants and their parents will attend the game, which will be played at BB&T Ballpark, home of the short-season Williamsport Crosscutters.
