The Arizona Baseball Coaches Association launches its annual batch of all-star games (seven) beginning Saturday May 28 at its all-star venue -- Surprise Stadium.
Kicking off this year's all-star games May 28 are the 1A-2A and 3A games, respectively. 5A-II and 5A-I games are set for Friday June 3 and 4A-II and 4A-I contests are June 4. The academic all-star game is set for June 5.
