The 5th Annual Border Battle mid-summer baseball tournament featuring some of the finest Class C & B teams in Minnesota and the Dakotas. This year’s tournament will be played in Wahpeton, North Dakota at John Randall Field in Chahinkapa Park.
The tournament will be held June 27th- 29th. There will be two games on Friday night, continue play on Saturday, June 28th and championship games on Sunday, June 29thth. An entry fee of $175 plus 3 baseballs guarantees two, 7-inning games. In case of rain, winners’ bracket games will take precedence. Should a team play only one game due to the weather, $75 will be refunded.
We look forward to another great event and hope that you will consider being a part of our invitational tournament. If you have any other questions you can contact Ryan Olson at 701-371-3124 or call Jeremy Peschel at 701-730-4439 . We hope to hear from your team soon.
We have 2 openings to fill due to a couple of teams pulling out late. Send me PM if interested.

This is a very good tourney with good teams and good beer sales. I would encourage anyone to get into this tourney. We were in it last year and can't make it this year. We hope that we can get into it next year.  |

Thanks Canes11 for getting that bunt single to activate the $1 beers for an inning. We appreciated that sitting in the beer garden.

Their schedule says they are at a tournament in Hibbing this coming weekend but I think it is a misprint. Here is a link to their team: www.ballcharts.com/richfieldbombersAndy Small is their contact person. |

That is the Richfield Bombers who are a Class A team. Usually a very solid Class A team.

I guess it is the Richfield Ramblers, this is a different team that I've never heard of.

Are you still planning on having just the 6 teams, or still looking for 2 more?
