First National Bank Baseball Classic Schedule Set for VA Memorial Stadium
Article Presented By Rathkamp Financial…
(Chillicothe) – The Chillicothe Paints will host the week-long 12th Annual First National Bank of Waverly Baseball Classic beginning Saturday, March 29.
A total of 28 high school teams will compete in an 17-game schedule over the seven-day period. The event begins Saturday with three games slated at VA Memorial Stadium, starting at noon.
There will be two games per day Monday-Friday (March 31 – April 4) and the event will wrap up Saturday, April 5, with four more games, starting at 10 a.m.
The “Classic” was established in 2013 with the idea of providing local baseball fans the opportunity to watch some of the elite prep programs from around the state and southern Ohio. Many of the teams are perennial powers, making this week-long event one of the top showcases of high school baseball in Ohio.
A number of the players featured in these games are already committed to top Division I collegiate baseball programs, and many more are being heavily recruited to further their respective careers in baseball.
Red Barn Screen Printing and Embroidery of Circleville is also a contributing sponsor.
Each day’s admission is $5.00 for adults and $4.00 for students. Concessions will be available.
