If you’re a Purdue alum and you live in North Carolina you’re in luck! Purdue baseball is coming your way, and we need to have a very loud and boisterous backing as we face Houston, North Carolina A&T, and the host Tar Heels. When Purdue played in the 2012 tournament in Gary there were great crowds, and we closed this season by winning 13 straight at Alexander Field. This team definitely responds to a good crowd, so come on out and support them. First, here is your ticket info:
General public on sale for all-session package will be 12 pm on Wed & single game tix on Thurs at 12 pm at https://t.co/Qdn1m4YC2U. @DiamondHeels

Many times the host teams like to play the prime time second game on the opening night, but North Carolina has opted to play game 1 at 2pm. That means our game against Houston on Friday will be the night game.

Two years ago my then pregnant wife and I moved 2000 miles to take a job with Purdue Baseball. Everyone told us the players weren’t any good, they only won 10 games etc..... Well these are those same guys finding out they EARNED a 2 seed in a NCAA Regional. pic.twitter.com/IHVtNroN4D

How about @PurdueBaseball getting the 2, as expected, in Chapel Hill? Mark Wasikowski and his staff did an amazing job this year. He’s in the mix for National Coach of the Year.
