High school baseball teams from across the Tennessee Valley will once again take the field at Toyota Field this spring, with five dates scheduled beginning March 14.

The Madison ballpark, home of the Rocket City Trash Pandas, will host multiple high school matchups throughout March and early April, giving student-athletes the opportunity to compete in a professional stadium.

“Our organization is proud to provide these student-athletes with the opportunity to play in a professional ballpark,” said Garrett Fahrmann, executive vice president and general manager of the Rocket City Trash Pandas. “For many of these players, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s special for the athletes, their families, and their communities to create lasting memories at Toyota Field, and we’re honored to play a role in that.”

The schedule opens Saturday, March 14, with a three-game slate featuring James Clemens, Russellville and Hazel Green. Additional dates include March 19, March 26, March 27 and April 6.

Tickets are $10 plus tax per day and include admission to all games played that day. Parking is free. Gates open one hour prior to the first pitch each day.  Tickets for all high school games are available online.
