Clark/Gay Field

After a historic 2023 season ECCC began a comprehensive remodel of their baseball facilities.  Clark/Gay Field has a beautiful natural turf playing surface and is one of the most fan friendly facilities in the country.  The Grand Stand seating is covered and a newly built skybox and viewing deck down the 1st baseline means there isn't a bad seat in the house.

Nestled on a beautifully landscaped 94-acre campus just minutes from downtown Meridian, Mississippi (at 910 Highway 19 North), Meridian Community College (MCC) offers an inviting, state-of-the-art environment perfect for high school baseball showcase events. This vibrant community college, serving over 3,000 students annually, blends modern academic facilities—like the innovative SOAR Student Success Center, L.O. Todd-Billy C. Beal Learning Resources Center, and David H. Quave Student Life Center—with world-class athletic amenities. The campus's central location, easy access via Highway 19, and family-friendly atmosphere make it an ideal spot for parents, fans, and coaches. Ample parking, nearby dining, and proximity to Meridian's hotels ensure a seamless experience.

Your teams will take the field at Scaggs Field (also known as William F. Scaggs Field), the crown jewel of MCC's athletics program and widely regarded as one of the premier junior college baseball fields in the country. Built with the campus wrapped around it for an unparalleled game-day vibe, this venue delivers an electric atmosphere that rivals bigger stadiums—think roaring crowds, community energy, and non-stop excitement.
