Fayette baseball to take on Harrisburg at Busch Stadium

Posted

In a game that will not soon be forgotten by either team, the Fayette Falcons will take on the Harrisburg Bulldogs at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Beginning last week, representatives from both teams were allowed to begin selling tickets to a Cardinal game against the division rival Pittsburgh Pirates. Tickets for that game were sold at $25 each. The face value of those tickets was $47.00. Each team was required to sell an allotted amount of tickets prior to being allowed to play in the amateur game which will be held on June 20, a different date than the Cardinal game. While both teams have reached their goals and sent the money needed to the Cardinals. There is still time to purchase tickets. To do so, contact Andy Oeth (573-823-61418) or Chris Ackman (314-277-0513).

Playing at a big-league park provides a few interesting differences from playing at your regular local high school field. Most are very small and will not be noticed by the casual fan. For instance, cleats, or spikes, will not be allowed until after introductions. Sunflower seeds will not be allowed in the dugout or on the field at any time.

As an added bonus to help coaches get their full rosters into the game, the game will be a full nine innings, or two-and-a-half hours, whichever comes first.

Everyone, (players, coaches, umpires, fans, etc.) will park in Lot C off of eighth Street.

Players and spectators must be at Gate 2 by 3:15 p.m, at which time players will have their equipment inspected. Once players enter through Gate 2, they will follow an usher to their designated dugouts.

Fans will then enter Gate 2 after both teams are escorted to their dugouts.

Bags will not be permitted to be brought into Busch Stadium, except for medical bags, diaper bags with a child, or clutches/wristlets not exceeding 6x8 inches. Backpacks, grocery bags, purses, or other bags larger than 6x8 inches are prohibited.

Fan seating is available in Field Box sections 141-160. Please do not sit in any sections beyond those sections.

Fans must sit at least five rows back from the Cardinals Club (Green Seats) area and must refrain from sitting in any area that is roped off.

Busch Stadium is now completely open after being shut down for Covid-19, so no masks are required.

Spectators should return any foul balls to the Busch Stadium ushers wearing red shirts or jackets.

A concession stand with food and beverages for purchase will be open near section 146.

The Fayette roster will consist of the following players from both the 2022 high school roster and the 2021 Jr. Babe Ruth team: Tyler Bartholomew, Chris Brown, Haden Kelly, Alex McBain, Mason Sappington, Landon Schachtele, Jayden Shiflett, Matthew Stornello, Gage Sulltrop, Thomas Elliott, Kaleb Friebe, Payton Oeth, Wyatt Ragain, Corbin Tucker, and Jacob Wood.

Harrisburg will take Anthony Alicea, Carter Bremer, Izik Butts, Bruce Calcote, Joshua Cochran, Hunter Cole, Trace Combs, Gavin Curtis, Austin Darwent, Ike DeMuth, Landon Edwards, Logan Fritts, Travis Gardiner, Aiden Grindstaff, Angel Guzman, Korben Hessell, Brayden Hunt, Tanner Lanes, Brayden Ott, Bryce Ott, Zollie Robertson, Jordan Sager, Trevor Smoot, Austin Starbuck, Myals Thornhill, Aidan Van Roekel, and Braden Wyatt to Busch.
