Thunder Bay has started the season 4-1 and sits atop the Great Plains East Division after five games.
THUNDER BAY – The Minnesota Mud Puppies nickel-and-dimed the Thunder Bay Border Cats for most of the night.Buoyed by a record regular-season crowd of 3,051, who came to take in the team’s 2024 home opener and watch the post-game fireworks show, the Cats delivered the fourth win in five outings to start their 19th Northwoods League campaign, battling back to edge the Mud Puppies 3-2.
“We played some great defence too. That can always help. And our pitching was phenomenal. It was a great start with Jack and then Riley there at the end was phenomenal.” “Our guys didn’t give up,” said manager J.M. Kelly. “They found a way to fight through the adversity. It was a terrific job. You have to win baseball games like that.”
The Cats struck first, getting to Minnesota starter Will Kent in the first, after Pineau retired the side in order to start the contest. After tying the game in the fifth, Kelly dug deep into his playbook, some smart base-running producing the game-winning run.
