State tournament time is the best. Yes we got home at 1:30 a.m....yes our opponent gets an extra day and a half rest (thanks

Man...15C region was 3 weeks ago and this thing was beat up...give it a little rest, grass seed, some natural irrigation, and poof! B-E-A-UTIFUL!

We have been lucky enough to host a few state tournaments over the years. Yes, we have a sprinkler system like the others, but the natural rain brings a different 'green' to the grass. Holy timing on that. These fields are gonna be mint this weekend.
Update to tournament post... this is no longer labeled as a 'tournament' so the fun police don't get us again. Now it's a bunch of exhibition games/round robin where there may or may not be a bracket at the field. We have a team meeting tonight. Update later.
Another year in the books. Dreaming about playing next weekend and the ones that got away. Fun group of dudes, better families, and of course a few memories made over the last 4 months we cant mention here!
For his dedication to all things baseball in Cold Spring,
@csspringers
manager Dave Hinkemeyer will be inducted into the Minnesota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame.

Why do we do it? We didn't even have field to rest last night and we had 3 seperate games going in the outfield! No parents, no coaches, no phones, for hours!... just kids being kids!
Thank you to everyone that showed at the event yesterday!
Well... we are gonna try this State thing one more time. Well played series by the Mudcats. Springer finish it off with 4 in the top of the 9th to clinch a berth to

When are the fun police going to post the minutes? 13 teams this year for 'rule infractions' all disqualified for post season. 'Have to treat everyone the same' was the motto this weekend(more to come on this) How many were malicious intent? Vs clerical/new system issues?
THANK YOU TIME...To our fans - you are always there for us, Thank you! To our kids/bat boys- love seeing you all wanna be like daddy! To our fantastic Wives/GF's - this doesn't happen without you! We dont take that for granted! Dave and Tim- organizational masters! (1/2)...
The state board will hear our appeal on July 17. That's great. Our call to action starts now. If this was your team would you want our help too? Call, email, text your favorite state board rep. The punishment does not fit the 'crime' on this one. Let's do the right thing!
We will look to pick up our 3rd win of the tournament today and hold serve with win totals of the

Not how we wanted it to go down..but, the Jack is legit top 3 field ever. Go eat at Kings if you don't get your fill at the field. Holy, good. Enjoyed some new faces this year and can't wait until April 2023. 👊 to

After the message from Eric this week...would you ask for help if it was your team? Would you fight? Is this what's right for MN baseball? Sure, some of you don't see it our way. If it was your team would you see it differently? It's going to take all of us to change this.
Gas money on the line today for us and the

What a great weekend! We played not so good, but a fabulous day for Cold Spring baseball during our annual Day at the Park. 4 - 12U games, 2 games on the big field and some awesome live music! Thank you to everyone that attended!
Thanks guys, wish we could have hung out a couple more times! A new standard has been set for 3rd site that hosts the 'B' games. Saw some pretty good ball there the last 3 weeks.

Feels a weird not prepping and getting the field ready this morning. Thanks “B” teams for letting us host you - it was an absolute pleasure. A huge thank you goes out to all of the volunteers who made this possible! It’s a team effort; we’re very proud of our wonderful community!
This type of facility is badly needed in central MN and we have an opportunity to provide it. Please consider donating to the cause and have your donation matched! The link is below. Please don’t hesitate to share! Thank You!
The final weekend starts Saturday for us with a match-up against a perennial power. Hope to see you at the Muni!

@mbastateb2020
for letting us play! Thank you all! 2020...out! (mic drop)
Thank you all for your participation in Mondays poll question! The answer was team A was suspended from post season play and team B was allowed to finish their season. We have plenty of enemies, I know... but this is about doing what's right. Statement from Eric later today!
Game opening!
Anyone have a local 9 that can make it to Cold Spring by 7:30 TOMORROW? (6/1/22) We have an ump lined up, and a case of adult beverages probably finds its way to your dugout as a thank you for coming out. DM or email Hink if you want the spot.
