The Owatonna Baseball season has officially started, and they are looking to make the most out of this season. With the team just starting practice, the team has many things to look forward to throughout the season. One of those is the opportunity to play at Target Field against Red Wing on April 20. The players and coaches have been excited about this ever since it was announced.
The Huskies will be playing in a doubleheader with the Minnesota Twins playing first against the Detroit Tigers at 1:10 p.m. and the Huskies playing after them at 4:30 p.m. With this doubleheader, the player’s family and friends were able to purchase a single ticket that would get them into both games.
Head Coach Tate Cummins has been working hard with many people to make this all happen. Cummins said, “The Twins have been increasing the amount of games over the past couple of years and so we questioned it around a year ago. We then found out the opportunity looked good to get in and were able to make it work. We were fortunate to get in early and that they were open to getting southern Minnesota involved.”
“For our players being able to play in Target field is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

With this experience players and coaches will have a memorable time. Cummins said, “For our players being able to play in Target field is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
One of the main excitements for the players is just getting to play in that atmosphere and playing in the park. Junior Zach Haarstad said, “Being there for the Twins game right before ours and getting to play on a field where many great baseball players have played is pretty cool.” The team and community are very excited about this opportunity.
The Huskies will play at Target Field on Saturday, April 20 at 4:30 p.m. against the Red Wing Wingers.
