The date at the century-old ballpark is the second of six games the club will play in major league ballparks this season as Banana Ball accelerates toward a national obsession.

It also follows a visit to metro Atlanta in March for a sold-out three-game series against the Party Animals at Coolray Field in Gwinnett.

The club began as a summer collegiate team in the Coastal Plain League in 2016. In 2022, the Bananas branched out into their own world with Banana Ball. What a decision: The Bananas went viral and became a traveling phenomenon, extending well beyond their original Savannah base.
