Not only is it exciting to play at the state-of-the-art facility in Morgantown, the upcoming home game provides a little extra punch as it is the Backyard Brawl.
The Mountaineers and Pitt Panthers face each other twice each year and the first meeting is Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. Basketball and football both have the Mountaineers and Panthers coming up on future schedules, but the baseball teams will always rely on the Backyard Brawl to get through the season.
With the WVU baseball team traveling extensively throughout the season, having a game against a close opponent is important.
