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.

Field Specs & Features:

• Dimensions & Surface: Synthetic turf infield for true bounces and low maintenance; lush natural grass outfield. Standard JUCO dimensions with a 25-foot batter's eye in center field.
• Recent Upgrades: Ongoing reconstruction (bids awarded in 2024) ensures top-tier playability, plus a new 7,000 sq ft steel-framed batting facility nearby for pre-game warmups.

Scaggs Field hosts the powerhouse MCC Eagles (NJCAA Region 23, MACCC conference), who've racked up wins, All-MACCC honors, and postseason berths. In 2026, it will also welcome the professional Meridian Blues (Mid-America League), elevating its profile even further. Parents love the safe, family-oriented setting with nearby concessions, restrooms, and shaded areas; coaches appreciate the pro-level setup for talent evaluation.

Tart Field is a very unique place to play.  Home plate sits about 50 yards from beautiful Lake L.U. with grand stand seating behind home plate.  Fans can enjoy the game from multiple decks in left field and a floating platform deck situated down the 1st base line.  However, most of the locals can be found on top of the hill that surrounds the outfield that overlooks the entire stadium.  In 2025 Tart field underwent a major surface renovation that converted the playing surface to all turf.  This is one of our favorite places to host events and it will no doubt be yours.
