This past weekend during State was a memorable one despite the outcome. Our batboy Tate aka the best batboy in America was featured in the State tournament newsletter and even got to throw out the first pitch Friday night! Here’s some pictures to recap.
Legendary Moorhead Golds coach Steve Timmer was inducted into the legion hall of fame last summer. There will be a presentation/ceremony to present him his plaque on Monday, July 5th in between the Golds and Blues games vs Post 400. Appx 6:00pm at Matson Field.
Great season comes to an end as We finish the season with record of 24-21! Special thanks to all the seniors and super seniors on a great season/career! Special thanks to all volunteers that helped make things run so smoothly at Matson throughout the year!
