OVC baseball tournament to remain in Tennessee

The Ohio Valley Conference announced Tuesday a three-year deal to continue to hold its annual baseball tournament at The Ballpark at Jackson in Jackson, Tenn.

The deal ensures the 2014, 2015 and 2016 tournaments will be held at The Ballpark at Jackson. The 2014 event will be held May 21-25.

The OVC has held its baseball tournament at the venue for the past four years. The Ballpark at Jackson serves as the home of the Jackson Generals, the Class AA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.

Following the completion of the Generals' 2013 season in September, The Ballpark at Jackson will undergo an extensive renovation to its draining system along with a new playing surface. The cost of the renovations is estimated to be around $200,000.

Southeast tryouts

The Southeast baseball program will hold an open tryout at 3 p.m. Sept. 4 at Capaha Field.

Those wishing to participate must have a physical from the last six months on record, along with a copy of the physical, and be a full-time Southeast student. 

For more information, call the Southeast baseball office at 986-6002.
