Additionally , the park hosts the West Virginia state high school baseball championships . From 2006-2018 , it was the home field for Marshall 's Conference USA games , as Marshall did not have an adequate baseball facility on its campus located 50 miles ( 80 km ) away in Huntington . For the 2019 season , temporary upgrades allowed the school to play most games at home , excepting games versus West Virginia and Virginia Tech , which generally draw a larger crowd than the Huntington facility can accommodate . The school is fundraising for a baseball facility on campus . When West Virginia University moved from the Big East Conference to the Big 12 Conference , its on campus baseball field likewise did not meet league standards , and WVU played its conference games in Charleston until a new taxpayer funded stadium was built on campus
