We would like to thank all of the teams, players, coaches, staff, workers and sponsors who helped make the 2024 summer collegiate season here in the Tidewater area another outstanding summer.
Over 100 local baseball players were able to gain valuable playing experience during their summer break, competing against both local collegiate summer teams and collegiate summer teams from the Mid-Atlantic region. Player development being our number one goal, the reps in the field, the at bats, the innings pitched, all provided our players the needed feedback to hone their summer work outs and maximize their development during the summer break.
While the Greenbrier Knights completed their 31st season of high level collegiate summer baseball, the Virginia Beach Valor, Norfolk Destroyers, GS2 Mothmen and the Coastal Coconuts celebrated their inaugural seasons with high quality, collegiate, wood bat, summer baseball and established solid foundations for their new organizations.
Planning for the 2025 summer season has already begun, and additional information will be released in the coming weeks. If you are a current collegiate baseball player, or a high school senior, graduating in 2025, who will be attending college to play baseball, these playing opportunities are an outstanding way to continue your development as your prepare for fall/spring baseball at your school.
We are excited to have 4 new independently owned and operated collegiate summer teams, the Virginia Beach Valor, the Norfolk Destroyers, the GS2 Mothmen and the Coastal Coconuts, joining the Greenbrier Knights for exciting collegiate summer baseball this summer.
While our local Tidewater area teams will be competing against one another throughout the summer, we will also see them travelling to play against other collegiate teams in both Virginia and North Carolina, providing the players with an outstanding summer baseball experience.
See the schedule page for information about games, locations, and start times. We hope all of our area baseball fans will come out to see our local collegiate players competing with wood bats in great collegiate summer baseball action. Bring the family and enjoy our nations favorite pastime and support our local collegiate players.
We want to take this opportunity to say thank you to our players, coaches, fans, sponsors, interns and umpires for their tireless efforts this summer.
Through the rain, the schedule changes and all adversity, everyone remained focused on controlling the controllable and getting the most of the summer season.
We want to say a special thank you to D-Bats Virginia Beach, Venture Tours, Eastern Officials Association, City of Norfolk, and Bayside HS for their outstanding support again this summer.

July 6, 2023 – Manteo, NC
Under sunny skies, the 2023 Premier Collegiate League All Star Celebration got under way on Thursday, July 6th, at 4:30pm with an all star player meet and greet, followed by our Home Run Derby and our all star game activities included Sven, from Skydive OBX, parachuting into the ballpark with our game ball; Rev. Marc O’Neil, team chaplain and pastor of Mt. Olivet UMC, opening the game with a word of prayer; Manteo’s own “Lighthouse Brass” playing our National Anthem, and Mike Flaskey was on hand throwing out the first pitch and joining the derby hitters for a round of BP himself.
Kenny Schaedel (Louisburg College/Greenbrier Knights) won the Home Run Derby in impressive style. Joining Kenny in the final round were Scott McDonough (Portal/Univ. of Ark. Little Rock/Greenbrier Knights), Khris Morris (Pitt CC/Edenton Steamers) and Davis Hallstead (Univ. of Mt. Olive/Edenton Steamers). We would like to thank all of our Derby participants for putting on a great show for the fans.
The All Star Game, as usual, was dominated by great pitching, with the PCL All Stars taking advantage of a big inning to give themselves a lead they would not surrender. The PCL pitching came out on top, combining for a nine inning shutout, while the offense put a 10 spot on the board.
Ashe Ammerlaan (Bryant & Stratton/Outer Banks Scallywags) was named Most Valuable Player for his dominate 3 strike out performance on the mound during his inning of work.
We would like to say a special thanks to Audra Nelson, Scallywags Operations Manager for putting together a first class all star event.
We would also like to thank Scallywags coaches Alexander and Doss for their tireless work getting the field prepared. We would also like to thank all of the coaches, interns, players and staff for making the 2023 PCL All Star game an event to remember.
We also want to thank Pigman’s BBQ for providing our post game meal. The players, coaches and interns enjoyed every bit, oink and hushpuppy.
