The ACC is searching for the next home of its baseball tournament and Winston-Salem has thrown its hat in the ring.

As reported earlier this month by Steve Wiseman of the Durham Herald-Sun, the event won’t be held in Durham next year due to a change in scheduling policy for teams playing in the International League. The new rule means the Durham Bulls, a member of the league and the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, are no longer able to block off the number of days required to play host to the ACC Tournament — leaving the event's status up in the air.

Winston-Salem is among the cities being considered as a future site for the event, both for 2020 and future years. ACC officials declined to name possible sites, but Winston-Salem Dash President C.J. Johnson confirmed the city is in the running, as did Christian Schroeder, director of sales and services for Visit Winston-Salem.

"We worked with the Dash on the bid, which ended up leading to a site visit," Schroeder told the Journal on Friday.

Schroeder said the bid was submitted during fall 2018 and that it "spoke to the operations of how things would work, to the overall appeal of the destination and hospitality and what our community has to offer."
