BCU Baseball to host nationally televised game on Sunday, April 6

Wildcats will have Greek Spirit Day at Jackie Robinson Ballpark

Daytona Beach, Fla. - Bethune-Cookman University baseball will host North Carolina A&T State University on Sunday, Apr. 6 at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in front of a nationally-television audience as the game will be broadcast live on ESPNU at 2 p.m. in Daytona Beach, Fla.

This will mark the first-ever live televised game at Jackie Robinson Ballpark for the Wildcats. These same two teams met last season on ESPNU in Greensboro, N.C. where the entire nation saw the Aggies defeat the Wildcats by a score of 14-11 in one of the best contests for both teams of the year.
