Publisher’s Note: There was a slight error in the original graphic for this game. The game will be played on TUESDAY, April 14th at Historic Grainger Stadium.

The Down East Wood Ducks announced yesterday that they will host a collegiate baseball game between East Carolina University and the University of North Carolina Wilmington on Tuesday, April 14. The game will be played at Grainger Stadium in Kinston. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Grainger Stadium parking is free for the contest, just as it is for all Wood Ducks games.  

The Wood Ducks had originally been scheduled to play host to the Fayetteville Woodpeckers in a game on April 14 but received permission from the Carolina League to reschedule that game as part of a double-header to be played on Monday, April 13.    

“We are really excited, and thank ECU Athletics for giving us the opportunity to host the game. We encourage everyone to purchase their tickets early, as we expect a high demand for the tickets,” said Wood Ducks VP Wade Howell. “We are looking forward to a successful game and building on the partnership with both ECU and UNCW athletics.” 

Tickets for the game are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.woodducksbaseball.com, by calling (252) 686-5172 or in the Grainger Stadium front office Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Grandstand reserve and general admission tickets are $11. Current Wood Ducks box seat holders will have the opportunity to purchase their box seats for the game but it is expected a small number of boxes will be available for the game. Nine-seat boxes are $100, six-seat boxes are $70, and five-seat boxes are $55.
