CPHS Baseball: Jaxon Skaggs to pitch in Senior Series Saturday at OneOK Field
/Recent Charles Page High School graduate Jaxon Skaggs will be playing one last high school baseball game this Saturday at OneOK Field in Tulsa.
The Tulsa Drillers and the Tulsa Area Baseball Coaches Association will be hosting a two-day High School Senior Series on Independence Day weekend. The first game will be played Friday, July 3rd at 7:00 p.m., and game two will be Saturday, July 4th at 7:00 p.m. Both games will be followed by fireworks.
Friday’s game will pit East (Claremore, Glenpool, Jenks, Edison, Pryor, Metro Christian) against West (Bixby, Cascia Hall, Holland Hall, Sapulpa, Kiefer). Saturday will be North (Verdigris, Bishop Kelley, Sand Springs, Owasso, Victory Christian, Liberty, Coweta) versus South (Broken Arrow, Union, Regent Prep).
Skaggs, who is signed with Missouri Baptist University, will be the only Sandite to play. The Sandites only played eight games this year before the season was canceled due to COVID-19. Skaggs only pitched two games and was 1-0 on the mound with a 3.4 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and 13 strikeouts in 12.1 innings.
“The Drillers are glad to make ONEOK Field available for these great matchups and to give senior baseball players a final chance to play high school baseball in front of their family and friends,” said Drillers President Mike Melega in a press release. “We hope to make it a pair of special evenings for everyone involved, capped by giant holiday fireworks displays both nights.”
Fans will be allowed to attend games, but COVID-19 restrictions and limitations will apply. Capacity at ONEOK Field will be less than half of normal capacity as safe-distancing standards will be observed.
Tickets for Saturday’s game can be purchased at this link, or at the Drillers Box Office day-of. Prices are $12.00 for Homeplate Premium, $10.00 for Field Reserved, and $6.00 for General Admission.
