SENIOR NIGHT... Wednesday, April 15th, the Sarasota Sailors baseball program was scheduled to “continue the tradition” by celebrating the accomplishments of this year’s Senior class prior to the match up against Braden River. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the game has been canceled… but our desire to celebrate and recognize our Seniors remains strong. The Sailor Baseball coaching staff would like to thank each Senior for the hard work and dedication they brought to our program over the past four years. While we all understand the necessary pause to our season, we are also eager to the time when we can get together (hopefully in the not so distant future) to celebrate these Seniors contributions to the Sailor Baseball program over the past four years. -Coach Metcalf

Longstanding baseball tournament helps teams find their groove
Source: Report by Ryan Kohn, YourObserver.com
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Major League Baseball season starts this week, meaning the Baltimore Orioles are no longer in town for all to enjoy. That doesn’t mean there’s no baseball you should be watching, however. Sarasota’s high school scene is in full swing, hitting its midseason apex this week with the Sarasota Baseball Classic. For 33 years, the Classic has brought together both local and out-of-region teams, and that’s no different this year. Sarasota High, Riverview High and Cardinal Mooney High are all playing, as are 11 other teams (Click Here)
