Division III National Champion Wisconsin-Whitewater Headlines Blue Wahoos Classic College Baseball Tournament

PENSACOLA, FL – The seventh annual Blue Wahoos Classic, featuring Division III college baseball programs from across the country, returns to Pensacola March 10-18 with the defending national champion University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks leading an impressive roster of schools from across the country.

21 varsity games will be played across nine days, featuring Wisconsin-Whitewater, Grinnell, Nebraska Wesleyan, Edgewood, Carroll, Concordia Wisconsin, Trinity (CT) and Sewanee joining in the experience. Additional JV games, scrimmages and practices will take place throughout the tournament.

With eight total programs, approximately 300 student-athletes and 1,500 visiting family members, the Blue Wahoos Challenge provides a showcase for players and gives out-of-town guests an opportunity to experience Pensacola.

“Wisconsin-Whitewater’s annual trip to Pensacola is a highlight of our year,” said Blue Wahoos owner and Whitewater graduate Quint Studer. “For many of our guests arriving from across the country, it’s their first time visiting our city.
