Regardless of spring’s timetable, baseball is just around the corner at Fleming Stadium with the first of three College Baseball Classics to start Friday, Feb. 21, the annual early-season series sponsored by the Wilson Tobs summer collegiate baseball franchise.
Nine NCAA Division II teams, most from cold-weather locales, will play a total of 18 games spread over three three-day weekends at historic Fleming.
“We thoroughly enjoy being able to bring teams down from up north to get in some early spring games here at our historic ballpark,” said Tobs marketing and community outreach director Griffin Meyers in a release. “Many teams at the college level have made the transition to artificial turf or things of that nature, but historic Fleming Stadium can always take someone back in time to the roots of the game at its purest form.”
The first weekend of games Friday to Sunday, Feb. 21-23, features teams from Holy Family University of Philadelphia, Mansfield Commonwealth (Pennsylvania) and Fairmont State (West Virginia). The second weekend (Friday, Feb. 28-Sunday, March 2) will see West Virginia State, Thomas Jefferson U. of Philadelphia and Clarion (Pennsylvania).
The final “weekend” will run from Thursday, March 6, to Saturday, March 8, with Chestnut Hill College of Philadelphia, Cedarville (Ohio) University and Glenville State (West Virginia).
The games will start at 12:30 p.m. each of the first two Fridays while Saturday and Sunday action will begin at 11 a.m. the first two weekends. The final three-day stretch will start games at 1 p.m. each day.
The cost of admission is $7 for an all-day for ages 6 and older. The concession stand will be open.
The Tobs, entering their 29th season as a charter member of the summer collegiate Coastal Plain League, will also host three High School Baseball Classics in March and April at Fleming. The Tobs’ 2025 season opener is set for Sunday, May 25, with the first fireworks extravaganza of the season to follow.
