The tour will see the Loco Beach Coconuts take on the Party Animals. Banana Ball, an entertaining and fast-paced style of baseball, features rules such as prohibiting bunting, allowing batters to steal first base, and counting foul balls caught in the stands as outs. If a game ends in a tie after regulation time, a one-on-one tiebreaker showdown decides the winner. Tickets for the Jacksonville games will be distributed through a lottery, with registration opening on October 31.",
