DAYTON, Ohio -- For the 20th year, the Dayton Dragons and Day Air Ballpark are proud to host high school baseball games. Thirty-four teams from across the Miami Valley are competing in the heart of the Water Street District this spring.
This year’s Dragons High School Baseball Showcase is presented by the Bob Ross Auto Group.
All games are open to the public. Gates will open 30 minutes prior to the first game of the day. High schools may provide their own PA announcers, broadcasters, cheer squads, and national anthem singers. Participating schools sell Dragons tickets to help raise money for their programs. The Dragons have been hosting the Miami Valley’s best high school baseball teams since 2006.
Additionally serving as a fundraiser for participating schools, this season’s high school games at Day Air Ballpark will generate approximately $25,000 to assist participant programs with the cost of uniforms, equipment, and bus transportation.
Six games will be played next week. On Wednesday, April 30, Catholic Central faces Lehman Catholic at 6:00 pm. Eddie Meyers of the Starting 937 baseball podcast identifies Brody Adams and Ben Brammel as Catholic Central players to watch. Fans should also keep their eyes on Lehman Catholic’s Corbin Schmiesing (committed to Bluffton University), Cole Bostick (Waynesburg College), Reagan Gates (Grace Christian University), and Turner Lachey.
Friday, May 2 features a doubleheader beginning at 5:00 pm when Lima Central Catholic battles Minster. Meyers encourages fans to watch Lima Central Catholic’s Matthew Quatman and JJ Schnieders as well James Niemeyer and Louis Magoto of Minster. Friday’s 8:00 pm nightcap puts Bethel against Tippecanoe.

A tripleheader takes place on Saturday, May 3. Sidney and Northmont commence action at 11:00 am. Springboro and Chaminade Julienne follow at 3:00 pm.
