AUBURN, Ala. (WHNT) — The Savannah Bananas are on the road, and this time, they are headed to Auburn to play an exhibition game.
Banana Ball is headed to Plainsman Park, the Savannah Bananas announced Monday.
Auburn baseball will host the Banana Ball All-Stars in a fall exhibition game at Plainsman Park on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m.
“We’re excited to bring Banana Ball to Plainsman Park, creating a great opportunity and experience for both our players and our fans,” Auburn Baseball head coach Butch Thompson said. “This is currently one of the hottest tickets in baseball, and it should be a great night on The Plains.”
The two teams will play under Banana Ball rules, and the contest will be broadcast for free on the Bananas’ YouTube channel.
Auburn University said tickets for the match-up will go on sale at a later date, with the Savannah Bananas exclusively managing all general admission and standard reserved ticket inventory – these tickets will not be available to the general public.
