National Powerhouses Collide at Coastal Federal Field

Two top-10 college baseball teams highlight the 2006 Baseball at the Beach Tournament, which will begin Friday, February 24th at Coastal Federal Field, the home of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. The three-day, round-robin tournament includes #3 Georgia Tech, #8 Tennessee, Virginia Commonwealth, and local favorite Coastal Carolina. Tickets are on sale now at the Pelicans box office or by calling 843-918-6000.

Day one of the 7th annual tournament features a rematch of the 2005 NCAA Super Regionals as the Ramblin’ Wreck of Georgia Tech battles the Tennessee Volunteers at 3:30 pm.
