This is the first year the tournament is being held at Pringles Park in Jackson, Tenn. Pringles Park is the home of the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx, the AA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.

The success of OVC baseball in the past few years has allowed us to move our location to the shiny Pringles Park. A few of us were talking the other day how the OVC doesn't have as rich of a tradition in baseball as some of the other sports. But, we think that is all changing and moving the Championship to Pringles Park is just one more step in the right direction. Last year Tennessee Tech won the finals in 10 innings over Jacksonville State in a back-and-forth game. And in the 2009 MLB Draft, the OVC had two first round-picks in Eastern Illinois’ Tyler Kehrer and Jacksonville State’s Ben Tootle, which marks a first for the OVC.

This year we are hoping for an even more exciting game, but we need you help! We need the fans to fill the stadium and help us build that tradition we know we are heading for.

As if you weren't already thinking you wanted to be in Jackson, Tenn. on a beautiful Memorial Day weekend, here are some behind the scenes pictures of the stadium the staff took when they made their announcement that Pringles Park would be the new host. Next Tuesday, we are headed back there for the Austin Peay vs. Memphis game to do a run through of the championship.

So look at the pictures, and then buy your tickets! Or, do it the other way around.
