NJAC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT TO
RETURN TO CAMPBELL'S FIELD


SIX-TEAM CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT TO BEGIN ON CAMPUS SITES


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.
