Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown has been named one of nine hosts sites for the opening round of the NAIA National Baseball Tournament.
The tournament will feature four teams including the Jimmies in a double-elimination tournament beginning May 17, 2016 at Jack Brown Stadium with a spot in Lewiston, Idaho and the NAIA World Series up for grabs. The tournament will have three games on the first two days starting at 11am. The third day will feature two games with a potential second championship game on Friday.
Jamestown’s at 41-5 and in the NAIA Top-25 were big factors in their bid to be a host site. The Opening Round site selection process takes into account geography, facilities, student-athlete experience and host qualification.
The rest of this year’s host are: Auburn Montgomery (Ala.), Davenport (Mich.), Faulkner (Ala.), Georgia Gwinnett, Kingsport (Tenn.) Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Appalachian Athletic Conference, Tabor (Kan.), USC Beaufort (S.C.), and Westmont (Calif.).
The Jimmies are also hosting the NSAA Tournament along with Valley City State the first weekend in May.
