Game Preview - @ Milaca 2pm and 4pm 7/7

The St. Croix River Bandits (4-11, 6-15) look to get back on track after suffering a big loss in Princeton on Thursday by playing two in Milaca against the Stingers (5-10) on what should be a hot Saturday afternoon. This is Milaca's first year also in the Eastern Minny League. Offensively, the Stingers are led by St. Cloud State's Ben Johnson who is batting .353 with 1 HR in 34 AB.

The Bandits will be playing 2 seven inning games in Milaca. Expected to take the mound for the Bandits will be Jim Rochford (who came off a stellar performance at Braham, and a not so stellar performance at the North v. South all-star game) and Michael Chelberg (looking to find a groove, and a spot in the rotation).

Forecast: HOT low 90's and slight chance of rain at 2pm but 0% chance after. (Hopefully we get some rain to cool the temp down a little!)
