Hey, sports fans and family members looking to bake in the desert heat while watching the stars of tomorrow swing for the fences, mark your calendars. The Surprise Stadium Complex has bagged the rights to host over 190 teams for Perfect Game's summer showcase of baseball hotshots, as reported by the City of Surprise.
With the first pitch slated for July 8, the complex will serve up a two-week marathon of baseball brilliance featuring different age categories. For the love of the game and possibly the next big MLB star sighting, the 14U/17U WWBA West National Championship will kick things off through July 8-12. And, for those who can stand the suspense, the 15U/16U cohorts will take the field July 13-17, just as the previous crew hangs up their cleats, as detailed by the City of Surprise.
Baseball fans, take note: tickets are $15 per day, or you can get a tournament pass for $55, according to the event's website. Kids 6 and under get in free. The series then slides into the Southwest Select Summer Championship from July 19-22, sparing attendees a trio of dollar bills with an entry fee of $12. If, however, you're looking to save time at the turnstile, a full event pass is on tap for $45. And to cap it all off, the 17U World Series will bring down the house on July 24-28—another showcase where the daily gate admission is $15 per person, or a wallet-friendly option awaits with a tournament pass for $55, as reported by the City of Surprise.
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty: all these events are unfolding at 15930 N. Bullard Ave, where the Surprise Stadium Complex will be buzzing with scouts, sliders and scouts watching sliders.
