HOUSTON, TX — The Shriners Children’s College Classic returns to Minute Maid Park from March 3-5, 2023. The 23rd annual three-day, six-team, nine-game tournament will feature top programs in Louisville, Michigan, Rice, TCU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. Four of the participating teams are currently ranked in Baseball America’s top 25, including Louisville (#4), Texas A&M (#7), TCU (#10) and Texas Tech (#22).

Single day tickets and three-day tournament packages are on sale now at Astros.com/CollegeClassic.

The 2023 tournament marks the eighth year for it to carry the name Shriners Children’s College Classic, which has been set forth by a multi-year naming rights agreement between the Astros Foundation and Shriners Children’s®. The Astros Foundation operates the tournament and will donate a portion of each ticket sale directly to Shriners Children’s as well as provide other fundraising and awareness opportunities.

ALL NINE GAMES TO BE TELEVISED AND STREAMED

All nine of the tournament games will be televised on AT&T SportsNet SW and available on the channel in the entirety of the Astros five-state viewing area. On Saturday and Sunday, the 3:05 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. games will be shown on the AT&T SportsNet SW Alternate channel, due to a scheduling overlap with the Houston Rockets.

Additionally, all nine games will also be streamed live without a paywall on Astros.com and on the Astros Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channels.

Brett Dolan and Pat Combs will call the majority of the action on the telecast, with Gerald Sanchez and Butch Alsandor also making appearances.
