(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) -- On Tuesday, April 24th, the Davidson College Wildcats will host the Duke University Blue Devils in an exciting collegiate baseball matchup at BB&T Ballpark. Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. for the 7:05 p.m. contest from Uptown Charlotte.
Led by head baseball coach Dick Cooke, the Wildcats are coming off their most successful run in the program's 115-year existence. Last year, the 'Cats earned their first-ever conference championship and went on to become just the second number four seed to ever sweep a NCAA Regional. The 2018 campaign will mark Cooke's 28th at the helm.
"Our game with Duke at BB&T Ballpark is a great way to continue our relationship with the Knights as it will be the third time in the last four years we will be involved in a game in their great ballpark," stated Cooke. He added, "And, with Duke's head coach, Chris Pollard, being a former player and coach at Davidson - and a close friend - I'm confident we will have a great crowd that evening."
