Norfolk Tides host two high school games

Looks like Hickory will play Nansemond River (at Harbor Park) as well. I will post the date as soon as it is solidified.

M41,

NR/Hickory game is planned for April 19 after the Tides play a day game.

Thanks blue marlin . Still in MD/ out of the loop.

Blue marlin, I assume that is the originally scheduled May 11 date being moved?

It would have been nicer if all the Harbor Park games had been moved to something other than the usual SED Tuesday / Friday game dates so that fans of other SED teams could attend without missing their games. The Oscar Smith / Lakeland game is on a Friday and conflicts with other SED games.

WB - Correct. But after looking at Tides schedule (which I should have done first) that is not correct. NR/Hickory would have to play day game. Guess I need to background checks on my sources!

It will be a day game for NR/Hickory on 4/19 as of now.

Mathews41,

Did you go to the Norfolk State/Tides game? It looks like it was a blast with a great turnout.
How was it?

Sorry no. Would have liked too. I am out of state this week for work in MD. Missed a whole lot of baseball this week. After reading about the game (I think Tuesday's Pilot), sounds like Norfolk State should schedule this game every year (proceeds went to support their program).

A friend that went to game said that there was about 8,000 in attendance. I can't confirm # but saw some footage of game. Stands looked pretty full for exhibition game. Must have been a good fundraiser.

This should probably be it's own post (but it is a high school website/ I am going to say that since local players will be there this makes the cut). With my compliments (trying to broaden my horizons). Sounds like ODU is doing a little of their own promotion. Good for them.

"The baseball Monarchs will host CAA opponent Towson on Friday, April 23 at 7 p.m., in a "Flood the Bud" promotion to break the Bud Metheny Baseball Complex attendance record. All fans will be admitted for only $1 to the game, with prizes offered throughout the contest. ODU students will be admitted free with their I.D."
