TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Tallahassee just went bananas for the bananas!
In front of a sold-out crowd of somewhere between 60 and 70,000 fans, the Bananas took on the Texas Tailgators to end the week of Banana Ball.
Banana Ball excitement has been brewing for weeks as fans were lined up for a meet and greet the night before the event.
Former Rattler TY Jackson also played in Saturday’s game and said he was at a loss for words at the experience to play ball in the town he went to college in.
The Bananas won 5-3 in their season-opening game in Tallahassee.
