For the first time in five years, ESPNU returns to War Memorial Stadium. The North Carolina A&T baseball team will face the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats in a live nationally televised game on Friday, April 27, at noon. ESPNU’s last broadcast from War Memorial Stadium was April 8, 2007, when the Aggies defeated Bethune-Cookman, winner of 12 MEAC titles in 13 years, 14-11.
The day after their televised game, the Aggies and the Wildcats will play a 1 p.m., doubleheader on Saturday at War Memorial Stadium for free.
The Aggies defeated the Wildcats on March 25 in Daytona Beach, Fla., by a 5-3 final. It was the first time they defeated B-CU since May 20, 2007. The last time the Aggies played a nationally televised game was May 23, 2010, when they lost to the Wildcats for the MEAC Championship in a tape-delayed broadcast at Jackie Robinson Park in Daytona Beach.
