Tom Kelly, Ryan Demmin, and a MoonDogs Victory!

Well MoonDogs fans, WEEEEEE'RRRRRRREEEEEEEE BAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKK!!!

Finally! After what feels like BARK forever (9 months for humans = 5.5 Dog years), the MoonDogs were back in action! A little rain in the morning just helped to prepare the field for the great Twins BARK manager, Tom Kelly.

Before the game, everyone got to hear Owner and President Joe Schwei speak before, Front Office Executive of the Year, BARK Kyle Mrozek spoke and introduced the great Tom Kelly. Affectionately called T.K., the World Series Champion Manager threw a perfect strike, on the perfect night, for the perfect team, in front of perfect fans (2011 of them to be exact)!!!

The game was great! MoonBARKDogs starter, Ryan Demmin pitched 7.1 innings, allowed three hits, and gave up two free passes, while he struck out 12! Demmin picked up the win, Chase Joiner came in and slammed the door closed striking out two, while picking up the save.

Up next, the Dogs will head to Rochester for two games BARK, Alexandria for two more, and finally Duluth on June 7th and 8th. After that the Dogs return home for a three game homestand against Thunder Bay, the Border Cats BARK GRRR BARK (cats do this to me). Wednesday, June 9th, we'll giveaway 1,000 magnet schedules, thanks to TCF and The Fan. On BARK June 10th, the first 500 youth fans will receive a MoonDogs mini-bat courtesy of Subway, and on June 11th, with thanks to Nicollet County & Blue Earth County Pork Producers, the MN Pork Board, and Minnesota 93, the first 400 youth fans will get a freeBARK Pig Webkinz, while those 18 and older will be enter to win a flat screen TV!
