    CENTRAL — The Carolina Chaos will open their ninth season in the Southern Collegiate Baseball League this summer and will once again call Dr. C. Keith Connor Field at Southern Wesleyan University home. The 42 game schedule will feature 21 home games and several promotional nights highlighted by Little League Night (June 13/June 22) and Chaos Autograph Night (June 29/ July 6/July 12). Additional promotional nights will be announced at a later date.
    The SCBL was established in 1999 and features teams from South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. NCAA and NAIA collegiate baseball players spend the summer playing in the wood bat league and gearing up for their final season of college play and possibly moving on to the next level of Major League and Independent League Baseball.
    In 2006, renovations to Dr. C. Keith Connor Stadium made it possible for the Carolina Chaos to continue play in the Central area. The upgrade was a joint effort with the Town of Central, Central Area Business Council, City of Clemson, Clemson Area Sports Council, several local businesses, Carolina Chaos and Southern Wesleyan University.
    This year’s roster of Carolina Chaos players will be made up of 30 collegiate players from all over the country including Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Missouri.
    Over twenty former Chaos players have gone on to play professional baseball with several being drafted in the MLB Draft held annually in June.
    This year’s home opener is set for Wednesday, June 8 as the Chaos host the Pineville Pioneers at 7:00pm. Join the community in supporting collegiate summer baseball and spend a night at the park.
