Malcolm U. Pitt Field is a baseball venue located on the campus of the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, United States. The field is home to the Richmond Spiders baseball team of the NCAA Division I Atlantic 10 Conference.[1] The field is named after former Spiders baseball and basketball coach Malcolm U.
