Below, the softball park near the elementary in Brooten - plenty of snow remains to be melted. I doubt that next Monday's home opener with the Jaguars fastpitch team against Osakis will take place.
I visited with Matt Bauer of Elrosa, the caretaker and overseer of Saints Field. He said it will be at least a couple weeks before the field there is ready to host baseball.
We need some heat!
