On Feb. 29, the WVU baseball team will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball.
“We are excited to be playing an exhibition game against the Diamondbacks,” WVU coach Randy Mazey said. “Our players and coaching staff are excited, and it’s a great opportunity for our team to be on the same field as Major League players, and to see exactly the level of baseball they are striving to achieve.”
This is simply an exhibition, for both teams, and it’s not out of the ordinary. Most MLB teams take on a college-level team during their spring training schedules.
