MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Mountaineer fans are invited to Monongalia County Ballpark on Friday, Aug. 26 for the third annual WVU men’s basketball charity slow pitch softball game. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.

 

The game will feature the WVU men’s basketball staff (coaches, support staff and managers) against the current WVU men’s basketball team. The basketball staff will be managed by Bob Huggins while the student-athletes will be managed by Billy Hahn.

 

Admission will be $3 at the gate. WVU students will be admitted free with a valid ID, courtesy of Little General Stores. All proceeds will be donated to the West Virginia flood relief.

 

“This has been a great event for our basketball program to start the school year,” said Huggins. “It’s also a great opportunity for Mountaineer fans to come out to see this year’s team in person, while also raising money for the thousands of people affected by the terrible flooding in our great state this summer.”

 

The staff has won both softball games so far, 14-6 last year and 16-12 two years ago.
