Sunday Finale at Maryland to be Televised on ESPNU

Purdue baseball's Sunday series finale at Maryland on April 23 has been selected for live national television coverage on ESPNU.

First pitch has been moved up to noon ET to accommodate the television coverage on ESPNU, which also streams live on the ESPN app and ESPN.com/watch.

The Boilermakers made their ESPNU debut in April 2019 for a Sunday series finale at Nebraska.

Maryland is the defending Big Ten champion and enters the season nationally ranked in all the polls. The Terrapins were chosen to host an NCAA Regional at Turtle Smith Stadium last year.

Purdue will be making its fourth trip to College Park this spring, also visiting the UMD campus in 2016, 2018 and 2021. The 2018 team swept the mid-April series at UMD and it ignited a 21-2 stretch that helped earn the Boilermakers an NCAA Regional bid.
