HARTFORD, Conn. — The Hartford Yard Goats announced Thursday that Division I college baseball is returning to Dunkin’ Donuts Park, and fans will be allowed to attend.
It is the fourth season that college baseball has been featured at Dunkin' Donuts Park.
“We are excited that the University of Hartford Hawks are once again playing baseball at Dunkin’ Donuts Park,” Yard Goats President Tim Restall said. “Fans will have the opportunity to come watch a tremendous baseball program while enjoying the amenities of our wonderful downtown ballpark.”
The University of Hartford Hawks will host the UAlbany Great Danes in an America East Conference showdown on Saturday, April 24 at noon.
