WORCESTER — High school baseball returns to Polar Park next week.
On Monday, the home of the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox will host a tripleheader featuring six baseball teams from high schools across Central Mass.
North kicks off the tripleheader against Worcester Tech at 2:30 p.m., followed by Burncoat vs. South at 5 p.m. The final game of the day features Doherty and St. Paul, which starts at 7:30 p.m.
“Playing at Polar Park is something we have been looking forward to since the schedule came out and is definitely something I’ll always remember,” Doherty junior Tommy Kursonis said. “Getting this opportunity with my teammates means a lot, and having my family, friends and people from the city in the stands makes it even more special.
“It’s a great opportunity to step on a field that many current and future Red Sox have played on. We’re really looking forward to this, and we’re excited to compete on such a big stage and represent Doherty.”
Admission is free for children (14 and under) and students who present their school IDs. Adults can purchase tickets for $5 at polarpark.com, the Polar Park ticket office or by calling (508) 500-8888. Each adult ticket comes with a complimentary general admission ticket to a WooSox home game in late April.
Concessions will be available for purchase.
Repeat Performance: Oakmont baseball rallies past St. Mary's to win second straight Division 3 state title
The tripleheader, featuring five Worcester Public Schools, is part of a season-long effort to give young baseball players the opportunity to experience playing at Polar Park.
“One of the tenets of this ballpark is to have year-round uses, as well as ballgames whether the WooSox are at home or on the road,” Worcester Red Sox President Dr. Charles A. Steinberg said in a press release provided by the club. “We are as thrilled to have these six schools play at Polar Park as they are. The day provides an opportunity for moments that become lifetime memories for the players, their friends and their families.”
Since 2023, Polar Park has hosted the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) state baseball championships for all five divisions. The 2025 state championships will take place on June 13-14.
At a joint press conference in January, the Worcester Red Sox and Worcester Bravehearts announced that Polar Park will also host the 2025 Futures League All-Star Game on July 22 at 7:30 p.m. On Aug. 15-16, the Tri-City Chili Peppers will play “Cosmic Baseball” (glow-in-the-dark baseball) at Polar Park.
The WooSox opened their fifth season at Polar Park on March 28. Worcester will finish a six-game homestand on Sunday, a day before the high school tripleheader.
