Tate Aggie Classic: 22 Teams Begin Play Today

March 18, 2013

The 20th Annual Aggie Classic Baseball Tournament will begin play today featuring 22 teams — 16 high school teams from as far away as Oklahoma and Tennessee and six local high school teams.

The tournament, hosted by J.M. Tate High School, will be played through Thursday, with the championship game played at the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Stadium. Other local locations for the pool play will be Escambia High School, Tate High School, Washington High School, West Florida High School, Woodham Middle School and Pensacola State College.

“I feel that our tournament is one of the best in the country. It takes a lot of people to put an event of this magnitude on and I am truly thankful for everyone’s assistance,” said Greg Blackmon, head coach for Tate High School. “The venues for the games have been improved thanks to Pensacola State College and the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. Teams are coming from great distances, as well as our local teams, and I’m looking forward to a great week of competition.”

Tickets for each game are $5 for adults and students and will be available at the gate at each location. Games will be played at the six local fields Monday though Wednesday with the Championship Games on Thursday, March 21 at 4:00 p.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday games will be played at the Wahoo Stadium and tickets are $6.00 for this event.
