The final Sunday home game of the season, May 14, against Gardner Webb, is kids day and senior day. Before the game, WVU will honor its senior class of Jackson Cramer and Jackson Sigman.
The home finale also is a Backyard Brawl, as WVU welcomes Pitt to Morgantown on Tuesday, May 16. It is a gold rush, and all fans are encouraged to wear gold to cheer on the Mountaineers.
For the 23-game home schedule, season tickets are still available and are priced at $135 each for reserved seating in the five sections behind home plate and $110 for reserved seating behind the first and third base dugouts. WVU faculty and staff members can purchase tickets at a discounted rate of $110 behind home plate and $90 behind the dugouts. Discounted tickets for faculty and staff can only be purchased in person or via phone.
The home schedule at Monongalia County Ballpark includes games against reigning Big 12 champion Texas Tech (May 5-7) and Big 12 Tournament champion TCU (April 14-16), as well as Oklahoma (April 28-30), Kansas (April 7-9), Pitt (May 16), Marshall (April 4) and Penn State (May 9). All but four home games, and every Big 12 game, will be played in April and May.
The Mountaineers are coming off a stellar campaign where they won 36 games, the most since 2009, and advanced to their first ever Big 12 Tournament championship game. WVU went 20-10 at Monongalia County Ballpark, capping the home season on a nine-game winning streak.
West Virginia’s strong home record was fueled by a record attendance of 40,390 throughout the season in Morgantown.
A steady rise in home attendance in WVU’s first four seasons in the Big 12 Conference has proved a pivotal home field advantage. In the Mountaineers’ first four seasons in the league, coach Randy Mazey has guided the team to a winning record at home and a Big 12 Championship berth in each season.
