EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State baseball's game against Michigan on Friday, April 15, will be played at Jackson® Field™, home of the Lansing Lugnuts, in the Capital Clash, it was announced Tuesday. The Capital Clash will be nationally televised on ESPNU, with first pitch slated for 5 p.m.
MSU and UM played the first game ever at the ballpark, then called Oldsmobile Park, on April 3, 1996. Michigan defeated Michigan State, 5-4, in 10 innings.
The Capital Clash is the Spartans' second game of the 2022 season played at Jackson® Field™ in a span of 10 days. Michigan State will also play the Lansing Lugnuts in the 2022 Crosstown Showdown presented by Delta Dental on Wednesday, April 6, resuming the Crosstown Showdown exhibition contest after a two-year hiatus.
"We really value our long-standing relationship with the Lansing Lugnuts, and being able to play not only the Crosstown Showdown, but also a nationally televised Big Ten Conference game there is exciting," MSU head coach Jake Boss Jr. said. "We're also proud to be part of the event celebrating the first-ever game played there. Over the last 25-plus years, we've had a great relationship with the Lugnuts and this is further proof of that. They do a great job with their facility and everything is a first-class operation, and we're just really excited to play two games there this season."
The Spartans vs. Wolverines Big Ten Conference weekend series is Friday-Sunday, April 15-17, with the series opener played at Jackson® Field™ on April 15, while games two and three of the series will be played at MSU's McLane Stadium at Kobs Field April 16-17.
