Today we arrived in Orem for Opening Day of the Pioneer League. The Orem Owlz were first up, as they played the visiting Ogden Raptors. The fans packed it in as over 3,400 people were in attendance for opening night. Chris and I have had the experience of seeing how hard the staff at Minor League parks work for any given game, but this was the first night we saw an opening day game for any team. The Owlz staff was in overdrive making sure everything was ready for the first pitch. They did a great job and were even able to accommodate us and help us out by getting us a great prize for our raffle. Thanks to Zach and Nick for helping us out tonight! With the Owlz down 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth with 2 outs, they rallied with four consecutive hits and cut the lead to just 4-3. Unfortunately for the Owlz, they weren’t able to send the game into extra innings but they did give the fans an exciting finish.

For those of you in the Orem area, be sure to catch the July 6th home game. After the game, you can stay and sit in the outfield and watch The Sandlot on the video board out in right center field.
