CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - The Chillicothe Paints will host the week-long 9th Annual First National Bank of Waverly Baseball Classic beginning Saturday, March 26.

A total of 31 high school teams will compete in an 18-game schedule over the seven-day period. "Opening Day" for Ohio High School baseball is Saturday, March 26, and there will be five games slated at VA Memorial Stadium, starting at 10 a.m. * Please note - all games for Saturday, March 26 have been canceled. The Classic will now begin Monday.

There will be two games on Monday (28th), Tuesday (29th), Wednesday (30th) and Thursday (31st), Friday (April 1) and the event will wrap up Saturday, April 2, with four more games, starting at 10 a.m.

The "Classic" was established in 2013 with the idea of providing local baseball fans the opportunity to watch some of the elite prep programs from around the state and southern Ohio. Many of the teams are perennial powers, making this week-long event one of the top showcases of high school baseball in Ohio.

A number of the players featured in these games are already committed to top Division I collegiate baseball programs, and many more are being heavily recruited to further their respective careers in baseball.

Mile Tree Screen Printing of Chillicothe is also a contributing sponsor.

Each day's admission is $5.00 for adults and $4.00 for students. Concessions will be available.
