In the case of many collegiate baseball players, playing on a minor league baseball field is something that they can only dream of one day doing.

This weekend, the No. 1 Penn State club baseball team (9-0) will showcase its new home on Medlar Field at Lubrano Park against West Virginia. Tomorrow, the two teams will play a doubleheader starting at noon and will continue the series Sunday at 11 a.m.

The team is more than excited to show off its new home.

"We're lucky to have such a nice field," catcher Joe Kozlowski said while practicing on the field last week. "A field like this has such great benefits."

With meteorologists forecasting snow showers this weekend, playing on the field may be difficult, but the drainage system does give them a better chance.

Penn State is coming off of a weekend where it outscored Carnegie Mellon, 41-4, with the offense and the defense dominating the tripleheader.

Those games were played at Governor's Field in Bellefonte, which does not have the amenities of Medlar Field.

Pitcher Pete Chalfin threw a one-hitter as the rest of the pitching staff had strong showings, as well, and they look to continue their strong performances this season against the Mountaineers.

He also wants to show off the field that his team is fortunate to play on.

"The field just looks so nice," Chalfin said while standing on the field next to Kozlowski. "You won't get any bad hops out here, which for a pitcher, is just great."

Chalfin said that the field is perfect for outfielders and looks forward to seeing his team run around the outfield to make outs.

"The outfield is awesome," Chalfin said. "It's a big field. It's flatter so the outfielders really don't have to cover a lot of ground, they can get to the ball easier."

The one thing Chalfin is excited about is the bullpen, something that most clubs do not have.

Since he is not able to pitch off the mound in practice, the bullpen mounds are as close as he gets. But to be able to pitch off of a mound at a minor league stadium is something only a few people get to do.

"The dirt is great," Chalfin said.

"I'm sure the mound will be great too."

If the games are canceled because of weather, Penn State will only have one more chance to play on the field, next weekend against Pittsburgh.

So the club will try to make the most of the opportunity that has been given to it to play on the field that it shares with the Penn State baseball team and the State College Spikes.

Chalfin hopes that his team can show off what they can do and earn the right to play on the field.

"The field is just great," Chalfin said. "To play on it at this level is something that is special."
