YSU baseball, YSN reach broadcast deal

YOUNGSTOWN

Youngstown State University has teamed up with Youngstown-area sports website Your Sports Network (YSNLive.com) to broadcast Youngstown State baseball games for the upcoming 2019 season.

YSN will stream all 22 of the Penguins’ scheduled home games and select road contests, including an early-season series at nationally-ranked Florida State.

Each broadcast will feature streaming audio, and a static video stream from behind home plate will be available for home games at Eastwood Field. All live broadcasts will be free for fans with archived versions available for purchase.

The first broadcast is scheduled for Feb. 22 when the Penguins will begin a three-game series at Florida State, who is ranked No. 6 in Baseball America’s Preseason Poll and No. 11 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

The Penguins will open the 2019 season Friday at No. 9/15 Mississippi State to begin a three-game series. The team’s home opener at Eastwood Field is scheduled for March 22 against Oakland.
