For the first time in 21 years, the WVU baseball team will be playing games in June.

The Mountaineers (34-24) has clinched their first bid to the NCAA Tournament since 1996 and their first at-large bid in school history.

West Virginia will take on Maryland in the Winston-Salem Regional on Friday. The first pitch is scheduled for 2:00 PM ET and will air on WatchESPN.
