Cape Girardeau, MO - The SEMO Conference baseball senior players will have one more opportunity to take the field on Monday, July 6, 2020 at Capaha Park in Cape Girardeau.
The Showcase features senior athletes from Cape Central, Dexter, Kennett, Sikeston, New Madrid County Central, Notre Dame, Jackson, and Poplar Bluff.
The idea to hold the event came after seniors were unable to have a spring baseball season due to COVID-19 virus pandemic.
Seniors on each team will be assigned to one of four teams and will have the opportunity to participate in two 5-inning games.
Each team will be composed of seniors from two schools. The teams will be coached by the high school coaches of the respective schools.
