La Crosse Loggers News Release
ROCHESTER, MN - The Northwoods League office released its 2013 schedule today for its 20th Anniversary Season, featuring inter-Division play for the first time since the 2009 season. The Northwoods League, the largest summer-collegiate baseball league with 16 teams, will begin its season on May 29th; when all teams take the field for summer collegiate baseball's most extensive schedule, at 70 games.
The League, which plays two halves to determine playoff participants, similar to most professional minor leagues, will end the first-half of play on July 3. The Northwoods League's 19th All-Star game will take place on July 23, 2012 in Eau Claire, WI, where the game was played during the 2010 season.
"It's hard to believe we are going into our 20th season, said Northwoods League President, Dick Radatz, Jr., it's wonderful to reflect on where we started and where we are now."
The La Crosse Loggers will start their NWL title defense on the road in 2013 when they travel to Battle Creek, Mich. to take on the Bombers in the first of a two-game set on Wednesday, May 29 at C.O. Brown Stadium. Following a season-opening four-game road trip, the Lumbermen will celebrate their home opener on Sunday, June 2 when they welcome the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters into Copeland Park for a 5:05 p.m. first pitch.
La Crosse will enjoy inter-division play between July 28 and August 1 when they welcome the Alexandria Beetles and the St. Cloud River Bats from the North Division into The Lumberyard for two-game sets. One week later, from August 6 through August 9, the Loggers will travel north to Alexandria and St. Cloud to conclude inter-divisional play.
The Loggers will then wrap up the 2013 regular season at home on August 10-11 when they play host to the Wisconsin Woodchucks in a rematch of last season's South Division playoffs.
The 2013 NWL post-season then begins on August 12 when the divisional round will be determined in a best of three series with the winners advancing to the Summer Collegiate World Series that will run from August 15-17.
