WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Fall exhibition games on consecutive Saturdays in October highlight Purdue baseball's fall ball slate at Alexander Field, which also features a host of scrimmages that are open to the public.
The Boilermakers' 45-day fall practice calendar begins Thursday, Sept. 9 and features 18 events that are open to the public (with free admission).
Purdue is slated to host a pair of top-notch NJCAA teams for October exhibition games. Wabash Valley (53-5 in 2021) returns to Alexander on Saturday, Oct. 9. John A. Logan (42-18 in 2021) visits campus the following Saturday (Oct. 16). Both games are slated for a 1 p.m. ET first pitch.
The annual three-game Black & Gold Series is set for Oct. 21 to 23 and marks the end of the fall practice. All three games will be played regardless of the results. They are expected to be afternoon matinees. The start time of Saturday's series finale is contingent upon Purdue football's kickoff time that day, which likely will not be announced until Oct. 11.
The coaching staff has designated a dozen practice dates as scrimmage days, which are also open to the public. Scrimmages are primarily slated for Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The Boilermakers have open scrimmages set for Friday and Sunday of Homecoming Weekend (Oct. 1-3) on campus. Scrimmages begin at approximately 2:30 p.m. Dates and times are subject to change based on weather.
Purdue football has home games on Saturday, Sept. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 23. The Alexander Field parking lot west of the stadium will be unavailable for baseball parking on those dates. Fans interested in attending baseball scrimmages on those dates need to park in the gravel Grand Prix lots on the west side of the access road that runs from Cherry Lane to softball's Bittinger Stadium. Additionally, on Friday, Sept. 24, Friday, Oct. 1 and Friday, Oct. 22, the baseball lot needs to be cleared by 5 p.m. in preparation for reserved football parking beginning at 6 p.m. Towing will begin at 5 p.m. on those Fridays.
