May 3, 2022 – Juco baseball heads to Manhattan as the 2022 NJCAA Central District (Region VI) Tournament runs May 17-21. Tointon Family Stadium, home of the Kansas State Wildcat baseball team, will serve as tournament host.
“We have been nomads since Lawrence Dumont Stadium in Wichita came down, so we looked for a first-class stadium experience for our athletes and fans,” said Mike Saddler, Region VI men’s director.
Several stadiums and locations were explored.
“We enjoyed being at Eck Stadium on the Wichita State University campus, but their schedule did not work with ours this year,” said Saddler.
Kansas State baseball facilities had the full week open the KJCCC colleges needed. The stadium seats 2,331, has ample facilities for press and media members, and plenty of concessions for families and fans.
“They are excited to have us in Manhattan,” said Saddler. “It’s a wonderful facility – great for teams and fans. This stadium is fitting for our level of play.”
The KJCCC East winner will be the top seed of the tournament this year, while the KJCCC West winner will be the number two seed.
Game start times for the first three days will be 10am, 1pm, 4pm, and 7pm.
