"We commend the Sun Belt Conference for choosing Montgomery to host the conference's baseball championship starting in 2020," said Montgomery mayor Todd Strange in a release. "Home of the Montgomery Biscuits – one of Minor League Baseball's hardest working front offices, Riverwalk Stadium boasts pristine facilities in the heart of our city's entertainment district, and our entire community looks forward to welcoming another new tradition to the Capital of Dreams!"
