MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Southern New Hampshire University baseball doubleheader against Stonehill College on Saturday, April 30 (12/3 p.m.) will be broadcast live on NESNplus and NESN National.

The broadcast will be produced by Pack Network, SNHU's partner in offering live video webcasts in 13 different sports.
"SNHU Athletics is proud to announce the expansion of its partnership with NESN," said Southern New Hampshire Associate Director of Athletics, Tom Wilkins. "The chance to showcase our top-level, nationally-ranked baseball program, in front of a regional and national audience, is an amazing opportunity. Coach [Scott] Loiseau has built a regional power during his time at SNHU. It will be exciting to share this brand of baseball with fans, alumni, members of the Penmen family and the greater New England community."
For the second straight year, NESN carried Penmen men's and women's basketball games, airing 10 games during the 2015-16 season on NESNplus, with seven of them also airing live on NESN National.
