For the second consecutive
year, the New Jersey Athletic Conference has reached
agreement with Campbell's Field in Camden to serve as the host site for
the second, third and championship rounds of the NJAC Baseball
Tournament.
Recognized the past three years by
Baseball
America as the Independent Baseball "Park of the
Year", Campbell's Field is a 6,450 seat venue that sits at the base of the Ben Franklin Bridge and
rests against the Delaware River, giving fans a picturesque view of the
Philadelphia skyline. The stadium serves as the regular season home park
of the Rutgers-Camden Scarlet Raptor baseball team.
Tickets for all games played at Campbell's Field will be sold on a daily
basis, meaning one admission fee will admit spectators to all games played in
the stadium on that day. Tickets can be purchased at the Campbell's Field
box office beginning one hour before the first contest of each day during all
rounds of the tournament played in Camden.
The 2006 NJAC Championship Baseball Tournament will again feature a
six-team field. The double-elimination tournament will get underway on
Wednesday, May 3 with three opening round games played at three different
campus sites. The first, second and third-seeded teams will host the
sixth, fifth, and fourth-seeded teams respectively in first round
afternoon contests. In the event of rain on Wednesday, May 4, first round
contests will be rescheduled for Thursday, May 5 at the same campus site
locations.
Following completion of the first round contests, the remainder
of the tournament will then shift to Campbell's Field with second round games
played on Friday, May 5. Third round contests will
be conducted on Saturday, May 6, and the 2006 NJAC Baseball Tournament Championship
Game is scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, May 7.
The 2006 NJAC Championship Baseball Tournament bracket will be announced
following the conclusion of regular season conference play on April 29.
