Monday the team will unveil NEW alternate black uniforms and play the FM Redhawks in an exhibition at Newman Outdoor Field starting at 6:00pm and the team encourages everyone to come out! This game is on the official Redhawks preseason exhibition schedule.

 

Can the Brewers give the Redhawks a competitive game? That remains to be seen, but the team will be bolstered by several Minnesota amateur baseball all-stars (friends of the Brewers and members of Minnesota Max Bat - winners of the NABA World Series in Phoenix last fall). These players include pitchers Zac Femrite and Ryan Morse, NABA-Phoenix tournament MVP Matt Mann, Aaron Olson, Chris Baso, and Jeremy Hinderks (Scott Hollingsworth and Sam Rothstein are unable to make the trip).

 

Friends and family of the Brewers can get FREE tickets! To get put on the list, email Jeremy Peschel or Brook Lyter or at the gate mention you are a fan of the Brewers for a free ticket! A limo bus provided by Fargo Party Ride will take fans of the Brewers to the game and back from the Penalty Box leaving at 5:30pm. Give us shout on Facebook if you can make it!
