Bandits travel to River Falls; Sunday June 15th - 1pm start

The St. Croix River Bandits (1-4 conf, 4-5 overall) are looking to snap a 3 game losing streak and travel down to River Falls for a Father's Day game. The River Falls Fighting Fish (3-3 conf, 8-7-1 overall) has had fairly steady season so far this year, never winning or losing more than 3 in a row. The Fish are coming off of defeating the Osceola Braves for the 2nd time in 12 days. The Bandits on the other hand have lost their last 3 games to New Richmond, Osceola, and Hudson. The Fish are the Bandits only game this week and before another 3 grueling conference games next weekend. The Bandits intended to throw starting pitcher Jim Rochford Sunday afternoon. Rochford last pitched against New Richmond on the 4th, giving up 1 earned run over 5 innings. Rochford did pitch 1/3 of an inning against the Braves giving up a run before intended starting pitcher Jay Gagner could enter the game. The Bandits welcome back starting SS John Peterson who has been out of town with work, OF Mitch Thompson and P Trygve Chinander who have finished their graduation ceremonies and parties, and the Bandits are hoping to have slugger Michael Chelberg back from a hyper-extended left shoulder he sustained in pre-games warm-ups vs. Osceola (Chelberg did go on to bat 3-5 that game).
