The West Virginia University baseball team announced on Apr. 17 that its game against Houston, originally scheduled for Saturday, April 18, will now begin at 11 a.m. due to expected bad weather.
The schedule change aims to ensure the safety of players and fans as inclement weather is forecasted for the area. The team said that fans holding tickets for Saturday’s game can use those tickets for the new start time or exchange them for a ticket to another regular-season home game this season of equal or lesser value. Exchanges can be made at the Mountaineer Ticket Office at the WVU Coliseum or by calling 1-800-WVU-GAME, though seat location is subject to availability.
Supporters are encouraged to follow @WVUBaseball on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for updates and additional information about the Mountaineers’ season.
Adjustments like these are not uncommon in college athletics when weather conditions pose risks or logistical challenges. The university’s proactive approach allows fans flexibility while prioritizing safety and maintaining support for their team.
