Jackson Generals News Release


This season, Pringles Park will play host to three college baseball games. The University of Memphis will be playing against Austin Peay University, Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

The first game will be played tonight, Tuesday, March 25 when Memphis takes on Austin Peay beginning at 6:30 p.m. On Tuesday, May 6, Memphis will go up against Vanderbilt at 7:05 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase through the University of Memphis Box Office.

On Wednesday, April 16, the University of Tennessee at Martin will take on the University of Memphis in the Razz Classic beginning at 6:05 p.m. The Razz Classic is a fundraiser that the River City Kiwanis Club of Savannah, Tennessee began eight years ago to help enhance the Bill Rasbach Scholarship Fund. The money raised is given as a scholarship to a local high school athlete. Lambuth University and Union University were the first to play in the Classic, but UT Martin has played in the Classic for the last five years since Bill Rasbach was a former player and alumni.

"Bill Rasbach was a season ticket holder for the Diamond Jaxx, so in order to grow the Classic we thought it might be beneficial to have the Razz Classic at Pringles Park," said Kevin McCasland, River City Kiwanis Club member.

Tickets for the Razz Classic may be purchased in advance by contacting Kevin McCasland at (731) 925-3913. On the day of the game, tickets for the Razz Classic game will be on sale at the Diamond Jaxx Box Office.
