GRANVILLE, W.Va. — Friday night’s sold-out West Virginia Black Bears home game was delayed, and then ultimately called off, due to COVID-19 concerns at the West Virginia clubhouse.
According to a Release team, the game was canceled to allow for further testing and contact tracing of members of the Black Bears organization.
Friday night’s game, which was to be played against the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, was announced as delayed around 7 p.m. About thirty minutes later, the match was called off.
The Black Bears sent the statement via Twitter just before 7:45 p.m.
There has been no future announcement from the club since the release of the statement.
West Virginia is currently scheduled to play its final two home games of the regular season on Saturday and Sunday against Mahoning Valley, although it is unclear at this time if those games will take place.
The Black Bears are then expected to have a day off Monday and then play four road games to complete the regular season.
Friday night’s series opener was announced to sell out.
West Virginia entered Friday with a one-game lead over the Trenton Thunder in the MLB draft league standings.
