MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - After much anticipation, the Yuba-Sutter Gold Sox are set to take the field in 2021 for their 19th season of summer baseball. Following a historic 2020 season in which the club was the only sporting organization in the state to host a live audience, the Gold Sox have forged a plan to bring the great Yuba-Sutter area another summer of exciting baseball and family entertainment.
As reigning champions, the Gold Sox will return to compete in the Sierra Central – Montna Farms Summer Series for the second year in a row. The Gold Sox will face teams from throughout California including teams from the California Collegiate League and the Bay Area Collegiate League. Yuba-Sutter will continue their rivalry with the Lincoln Potters, who they will face four times at home this summer.
This summer the Gold Sox will play a 44-game schedule, including 40 home games. The Gold Sox are set to take on the Lincoln Potters Opening Night, Thursday, June 3rd. For ten consecutive weeks Yuba-Sutter will continue to play the fan friendly Thursday through Sunday schedule with games beginning at 7pm Thursday – Saturday and 6pm on Sundays. Ballpark attendance will be limited to 25% capacity (1,000 fans) to begin the season. Tickets will sell-out so be sure to purchase in advance.
In addition to the great talent coming into town to face the Gold Sox this summer, Yuba-Sutter themselves have recruited a top-level roster for the 2021 season, acquiring players from various colleges across the country including Northern Colorado and UC Davis. The summer will tout one of the most competitive rosters the Gold Sox have ever put together.
To wrap up the summer baseball season the Gold Sox and Lincoln Potters will co-host the inaugural West Coast World Series. The 2021 West Coast World Series is an Invitational Tournament that will bring together 16 top Summer Collegiate Baseball Teams from the West Coast to determine who is the Best of the West..
Gold Sox GM Tommy Lininger commenting on the season: “After only being able to have 100 fans per game last year we are excited to be able to expand that to 1000 this season. Given the size of the stadium, and our safety protocols we will be able to provide the community with safe, fun and affordable family entertainment for our 19th season of baseball here in Yuba-Sutter.”
Full and partial season seats are on sale now by calling the Gold Sox at 530-741-3600. Single game tickets will go on sale on Thursday, May 20th.
