Purdue Baseball Adds Fourth Game to Series With Minnesota

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Purdue baseball program still feels the effects of its canceled series with Northwestern between May 7 and May 9. In an effort to make up those lost games, the team scheduled a midweek game with Ohio State and will now add a fourth matchup to its upcoming series with Minnesota.

The series was originally scheduled between Friday and Sunday, but an additional Thursday game was added and will start at 7 p.m. ET at Siebert Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota. All the games are expected to be streamed live on BTN+.

We've added a 4th game to our series this week in Minneapolis. Our 1st series at Siebert Field since May 2017 now begins Thursday evening. #BoilerUp

The Boilermakers and Golden Gophers both did not play a weekend series between May 7 and May 9 due to health and safety precautions related to COVID-19. Purdue was scheduled to play Northwestern, and Minnesota was set to play Ohio State.

Instead, the Boilermakers hosted the Buckeyes at Alexander Field for a midweek game on Tuesday, May 11. The Purdue baseball program is still willing to play Northwestern on Tuesday of next week, but no official schedule change has been announced.
