Winston-Salem Dash News Release


WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Once again this spring, the Winston-Salem Dash and BB&T Ballpark will host an impressive slate of amateur baseball games. Thanks to this eight-game schedule, more than 100 games are scheduled to take place at BB&T Ballpark this calendar year. The Dash will play 70 home games beginning April 14, while Winston-Salem State University has 24 games on its BB&T Ballpark slate.

Each amateur baseball player will have the thrill of a lifetime by playing in a professional baseball stadium and seeing their name and picture on BB&T Ballpark's scoreboard. The program's benefits extend beyond the game. All participating schools or organizations also purchased a specified number of tickets to Dash games in 2016, and these schools or organizations can resell the tickets to benefit their athletic departments or booster clubs.

"It is a thrill to see so many young baseball players' eyes light up when they take the field at a professional baseball field," Dash President Geoff Lassiter said. "Our amateur baseball program is one of our most fulfilling, because it is baseball in its purest form. Good luck to all of the participating teams." Since the program's creation in 2011, the Dash have welcomed almost 100 amateur teams to BB&T Ballpark.
