HIGH POINT, N.C. – The Big South Conference and High Point Downtown Stadium Foundation announced today an agreement to host the 2022 Ingles Big South Baseball Championship at the High Point Rockers' home ballpark of Truist Point in High Point, N.C.  The six-team double-elimination tournament to determine the Big South's automatic bid recipient to the NCAA Championship will be held Wednesday-Saturday, May 25-28.
 
The Big South will have a neutral site location for its Baseball Championship within the league's footprint of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia for the sixth time in the past seven years.  The $36 million facility opened in 2019 as the home of the new High Point Rockers baseball team of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.  The ballpark has a seating capacity of 4,500 and includes suites and loge boxes, plus a feast of food & beverage options, playgrounds for kids, along with a unique brew pub at The High Pint.  Truist Point also features the High Point University Vintage Seat Section -- seats from legendary ballparks such as Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Rosenblatt Stadium, Fulton County Stadium, The Metrodome, Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium, Citizens Bank Park and Oracle Park.
 
"We are very excited to welcome the Big South Conference to Truist Point as we continue the revitalization of downtown High Point," said Rockers' President Pete Fisch. "Truist Point is an outstanding ballpark that will be a memorable site for this prestigious college tournament.  We would like to thank the Big South for selecting High Point and we look forward to welcoming the teams to Truist Point."
 
"Truist Point will be an incredible venue for the Ingles Big South Conference Baseball Championship," added Big South Commissioner Kyle Kallander.  "It is a beautiful new fan-friendly ballpark, but most importantly it will provide an outstanding experience for our student-athletes.  It is the perfect venue for our nationally competitive baseball programs.  We are grateful to everyone involved with the High Point Rockers and Truist Point for their support of Big South baseball."
 
The 2022 Ingles Big South Baseball Championship will feature three games a day for the first three days, May 25-27, leading up to Saturday's Championship round of one-or-two games.  All games will air on ESPN platforms, with exact distribution to be announced next Spring.  Ticket pricing and seating availability will be announced in February.
 
The Big South Baseball Championship has been hosted at a neutral ballpark every year since 2016, with the exception of 2018.  The conference tournament was previously held in High Point in 2012 at High Point University's Williard Stadium, and that event featured seven student-athletes that eventually reached the Major Leagues.
