College baseball is back at ‘The Don’. The Uwharrie Wampus Cats are an independent collegiate wood-bat baseball team beginning play with the 2023 season!

Making their home at what will be a newly-upgraded Don Montgomery Park in Albemarle, North Carolina's downtown area, the team will play a schedule of more than 40 games during the summer and compete with the Carolina Disco Turkeys of Winston-Salem for the Highway 52 Cup as part of a season rivalry series. Other opponents for the Wampus Cats will include top area and regional teams, including high-profile exhibition match-ups at the Wilmington Sharks and Boone Bigfoots of the Coastal Plain League.
