Greeneville extended as DIII baseball host
Charlotte, NC – The NJCAA has announced Greeneville, TN as the host site for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series. Hosted by Tusculum University, the tournament will be held at Pioneer Park.
Home to the NJCAA DIII Baseball World Series since 2017, the Sports Council of the Greene County Partnership in Greeneville, TN submitted the bid to extend its host responsibilities through the 2023 season. The Greeneville, TN area shares a long baseball heritage with many other cities in the Appalachian League. The first organized team representing the town dates to 1921.
Pioneer Park is located on the campus of Tusculum College, the oldest college (founded in 1794) in Tennessee. The college built Pioneer Park in 2004, with the school’s baseball team utilizing the field during the academic year, and the Cincinnati Reds using it during the short summer league season.
In its three years of hosting the World Series, three different NJCAA programs have hoisted the national championship trophy, including Cumberland (NJ) in 2019. The eight-team double-elimination tournament will be held May 29-June 2/3, 2021, May 28-June 1/2, 2022, and May 27-May 31/June 1, 2023.
