The Bethel University baseball team
recently made local news when they moved their first game of the season up to February 20. The Royals changed a doubleheader against the University of Northwestern-St. Paul that was scheduled for March 30 to a single nine-inning game on Monday, February 20 and a single nine-inning game still on March 30. But due to projected rain all day Monday, the two teams have moved their season-opener back one day and will now start the 2017 campaign on Tuesday, February 21 with first pitch scheduled for 4 p.m.
