The Mariners won’t start their home season at Safeco Field until April 12, but anyone who wants to see great baseball at the Major League Baseball park can head out this Saturday, April 10 for the Marinier Classic featuring four high school baseball teams.

The Mercer Island baseball team will be taking on Eastmont, a 4A school out of Wenatchee, at Safeco Field at 4 p.m. The game is free and open to anyone who wants to attend. The Islanders are 6-1 so far this season, currently sitting in second place in the KingCo 3A/2A standings.

The Issaquah baseball team will play Kentridge at 12:30 p.m. also on Saturday.
