The Minnesota Angels got its season underway in Sioux Falls, SD at the Fred Huntimer/ISC II Sioux Falls Qualifier. We went 4-0 and received the bid to the TOC. Despite the inclement weather and temperatures in the 40’s and 50’s the fields at Sherman Park were prepped and chalked before each game. Many thanks to the Sioux Falls Fastpitch Association and the Umpires for a very well run tournament.
