DURHAM, N.C. — Get ready to go Bananas in Durham!
The Savannah Bananas baseball team is in town for the 2024 Banana Ball World Tour, where they will face off against their rivals, the Party Animals.

This three-game series, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Durham Bulls Athletic Park is part of a seven-game swing through North Carolina.

Banana Ball isn't your typical baseball. With eleven unique rules designed for fun and competition, anything can happen.

This year, there's even a brand new rule called the Golden Batter – watch out, it might come into play during these games!

The Bananas are riding high coming into Durham. After two successful weekends at home in Savannah, they lead the Tour with a 14-10 record and six series wins.

However, the Party Animals have a local weapon in their arsenal: Reece Hampton, a Charlotte native who played for UNC-Charlotte before going pro.
