Game Preview - Chisago Lakes Bulldogs @ Oakey Park in Osceola 7/8 2pm

The St. Croix River Bandits (6-11, 8-15) come home, atleast home to Oakey Park in Osceola, after winning two on the road to face Central Division leaders Chisago Lakes Bulldogs (8-5, 10-6). This will be the last Bandits home game in Oakey this season and the Bandits thank the Braves and Braves management for their hospitality. The Bulldogs have a solid all around team, led by Kohl Agre both at the plate and on the mound. Agre is batting .333 in 48 AB with 14 R and 15 RBI. On the mound he was a 1.64 ERA, with a WHIP hovering around 0.60, 20 K and only 1 BB. If Agre doesn't take the mound chances are the Bulldogs will go with Steve Christiansen (1.99 ERA) or lefty Tim Swenson (3.13 ERA)

The Bandits plan to counter with Jay Gagner, a new acquisition picked up before the June 30th deadline, which will be his first start for the Bandits. Gametime @ 2pm.

Forecast: high 80’s 20-30% chance of scattered thunderstorms
