The Carolina Disco Turkeys will highlight teams in a summer collegiate baseball tournament at Mando Field at Mocksville’s Rich Park.
The round robin tournament, dubbed the Blue Ridge Invitational, beganTuesday, and will have games on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 1-2.
The tournament will include an afternoon and evening game for all 3 days. Admission for each day is $8.
Other teams participating include the Catawba Valley Stars, a Hickory based team that is the oldest summer collegiate team in NC; the Uwharrie Wampus Cats of Albemarle; and the Marion Hungry Mothers of the Southwest Virginia.
The Disco Turkeys, who played a special home series in Mocksville earlier this summer, are based out of Wake Forest University’s Couch Ballpark in Winston-Salem. They’ll participate in the late game each day. Like the other teams, the Disco Turkeys’ roster includes players from all levels of college baseball, including several Division 1 players.
Pitcher Braeden Rodgers is a Davie County player on their roster.
“We’re excited to get all of these teams together for a competitive postseason tournament in a good venue that’s central to all the teams,” said Disco Turkeys president Greg Sullivan. “These will be highly contested games and it’s great to wrap up the season with a tournament so players have an opportunity for bragging rights.”
Tie breaker factors for the round robin will be head-to-head outcomes, followed by runs allowed by each team.
