Parkview Field, the home of the Fort Wayne TinCaps, will host 12 high school/college baseball games this April and May as part of the annual Parkview Sports Medicine Baseball Classic.
The action will take place while the TinCaps are playing on the road.
Indiana Tech and the University of Saint Francis will open the series of games on April 19 in a matchup of Fort Wayne’s NAIA programs. After that, 11 high school matchups will feature rival teams from around Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio. See schedule below.
“Parkview Sports Medicine is proud to support our area schools and offer student-athletes the chance to compete at a world-class facility like Parkview Field,” said Tommy Schoegler, Director of Parkview Sports Medicine.
Thanks to Parkview Sports Medicine’s sponsorship, the games are taking place at no cost to the participating schools. As in the past, the amateur teams will receive professional treatment at Parkview Field, like having their headshots displayed on the video board.
New this year, competing teams also will wear a commemorative Parkview Sports Medicine Baseball Classic patch on their uniforms.
“We love that Parkview Field is about more than just TinCaps baseball,” said TinCaps President Mike Nutter. “Over the years now, it’s been awesome to see a number of kids play as high schoolers and then go on to play here again in college or now even some professionally. We truly appreciate how Parkview Sports Medicine serves our community.”
