The Minnesota Twins scored a 4-2 come-from-behind victory over Seattle Thursday in one of the coldest home openers in franchise history. A sold-out crowd shivered together with a game-time temperature of 38 degrees at Target Field.

Thursday was to be opening day for Owatonna High School baseball, softball and track and field. It was supposed to be the second match for the Huskies' boys' tennis team. None of those events occurred and when the spring sports season will begin remains anyone's guess.

As the avalanche of high school sports postponements begins due to the continuation of winter weather, baseball coaches might be nibbling their fingernails while trying to do the math necessary to not break the pitching rules. Owatonna's season opener Thursday at Red Wing is postponed. Baseball, softball, tennis and track and field events have been postponed or canceled this week.

KRFO radio announces the schedule for Owatonna High School spring sports. While weather and field conditions don't bode well, the plan is to broadcast the Huskies' baseball opener at Red Wing on Thursday, April 5 at 5PM on Kat Kountry 105FM.

Sometimes you just have to Take It Easy with a Margarita in your hand. At least, that is what I envision The Eagles and Jimmy Buffet doing at Target Field come June 30th!

The Minnesota Twins take on the New York Yankees in the American League wild card game Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

The Minnesota Twins magic number to clinch the final playoff spot in the American League is down to two, and they could clinch a playoff spot tonight.

Owatonna and Faribault youth baseball and softball teams were among those that got the opportunity to parade around Target Field before a Twins game early this month.

Youth sports is about so many things over and above wins and losses. Several Owatonna youth baseball teams were recognized during last week's Steele County Fair for their good sportsmanship during the summer season.

Stewartville-Racine eliminated Owatonna from the Region 5C amateur tournament Saturday 8-3. Rochester then edged the Sharks 7-6 to earn a trip to state.
