SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - The Seton Hall baseball team returns to South Orange to play its first game on campus since 2018 when the Pirates take on Fairleigh Dickinson at 4 p.m. at the newly named Mike Sheppard, Sr. Stadium at Owen T. Carroll Field on Wednesday, March 11.
The game will be streamed on the Pirate Sports Network and WSOU will stream its broadcast on WSOU.net.
On Tuesday, March 10, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new facility that women's soccer, men's soccer and baseball call home. University President Joseph E. Nyre, Director of Athletics Bryan Felt and head baseball coach Rob Sheppard spoke at the gathering that officially christened the fields. Tomorrow's first pitch will be thrown out and caught by members of the Sheppard family; the first baseball family of New Jersey that stem from the stadium's namesake, Mike Sheppard, Sr.

Seton Hall LHP Tyler Burnham (East Brunswick, N.J.) - 0-0, 2.08 ERA
