Omaha, NE — The Corn Belt League is excited to announce a full day of baseball and community celebration on Saturday, July 5th, at JJ Isaacson Field at Seymour Smith Park. Omaha’s collegiate summer baseball league, now celebrating our 10th season, welcomes over 180 college baseball players to Nebraska from all across the country to compete, grow, and live in our community balancing baseball with summer jobs and mentorships. The Corn Belt League is putting on two marquee events taking place on Saturday, July 5th:

Our annual Corn Fest All-Star Game will showcase top talent from across the league, with players split into In State and Out of State teams. It's more than just a game—it's a festival for fans of all ages:

Representing the nonprofit Forever Never Forgotten, they travel the country using baseball to raise awareness about veteran issues-such as PTSD, homelessness, and reintegration-while honoring the families of fallen heroes. This game is more than just baseball-it's a tribute to sacrifice, unity, and the enduring American spirit. Admission is free, with donations encouraged to support the WarDogs' mission.
