AUBURN, N.Y. — The Auburn Doubledays minor-league baseball team today announced it has forged a radio broadcast agreement to air 38 of its games on WAUB 98.1 FM / 1590 AM (Finger Lakes News Radio) this upcoming season.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
This year, all Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Doubledays games — home and away — will be broadcast live on WAUB, according to a news release from the baseball club. Home games on July 20 and Sept. 6 and 7 will also be carried live on WAUB — for a total of 38 radio broadcasts.

The other 38 regular-season Doubledays games played from Sunday through Wednesday will be available live on AuburnDoubledays.com, the MiLB First Pitch app, Tunein.com, and the TuneIn app. The 38 games that air on WAUB will also be available on those digital venues.
“We’re very excited about this new agreement and what it means for our fans,” Mike Voutsinas, Auburn Doubledays general manager, said in the release. “Now that live audio will be available for all 76 of our games, it will be easier for us to promote our brand.”
The Auburn team starts its baseball season on Friday, June 19 at Batavia. It will play its first home game at Falcon Park in Auburn on June 25 against the West Virginia Black Bears.
David Lauterbach, a Syracuse University broadcast and digital journalism major, will call the games as the Doubledays play-by-play broadcaster this season.
“I’m very excited to be able to call all 76 home and road Doubledays games this summer,” Lauterbach said in the release. “I knew the team only broadcast 38 games last year and it has been my priority since I started to make audio from all 76 games available to our fans.”
The Auburn Doubledays club is a Single-A short season affiliate of Major League Baseball’s Washington Nationals. The team is part of the New York-Penn League.
