All signs point to busy weekend: soaring hotel rates, sellout game
May 29, 2026
The Morgantown Regional in the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament gets underway at 12 p.m. Friday from Kendrick Family Ballpark. Wake Forest and Kentucky battle for a spot in the winning bracket before No. 16 national seed WVU takes on Binghamton at 5 p.m. Between expensive hotel rates with limited availability and the WVU game being declared an official sellout in advance, all signs point to an eventful week along the Monongahela....
Morgantown is hosting Kentucky, Wake Forest, and Binghamton for NCAA Regional action. West Virginia takes on Binghamton in its first game, a team it has never faced in program history. The Mountaineers have faced the other two teams before, with a couple of meetings coming last postseason. There is some familiarity with these teams, however, and we can see how they matchup.
