Weather Forces Championship Relocation
The Big South Baseball Championship will not be held in its original venue in Asheville. Unseasonable weather forced organizers to shift the tournament to Gardner‑Webb University in Boiling Springs, North Carolina.
Saturday’s slate features two elimination matchups — Winthrop taking on Longwood and High Point facing USC Upstate — both scheduled for the university’s baseball complex. The winner of those contests will meet in a final elimination game later that afternoon, determining which team advances to the championship.
Sunday’s Championship Day will also be staged at Gardner‑Webb, where the conference hopes to stream the final games on ESPN+. While the broadcast plan is still being finalized, the league is working to bring live coverage to fans.
All tickets for the event remain free of charge, and the league is arranging audio broadcasts for Saturday’s games for those who cannot attend in person. The move underscores the conference’s flexibility and commitment to completing the tournament despite the weather disruption.
