The St. Peter town team hosted its 3rd annual golf tournament on Friday at Shoreland Country Club. The rain held off and it turned out to be a beautiful day on the links, where the Saints raised over $4,000.
After the first year of the annual outing, the Saints used the funds to purchase new jerseys and equipment. Last year, a brand new screen fence was installed at Veterans Field, foul pole-to-foul pole along with the acquisition of two portable pitching mounds for bullpens. This year, the team plans to use the funds raised to take care of a few basic needs and save up to help contribute to larger field improvement projects at Veterans Field in the near future. Plans are in the works for a new backstop, grandstand, press box, batting cage improvements and spectator viewing areas. The Saints are committed to help make Veterans Field a top-tier venue for baseball in south-central Minnesota.
