2024 is Almost Here and We Have New Teams to Play at Witter Field!
We have an action-packed schedule for you this year with 70 games over a total of 77 days. You’ll see some new teams here at Witter Field. The Waterloo Bucks will make their four-hour road trip to Witter Field early in the year on May 29th and 30th. Waterloo used to be in The Rafters division back in 2010, and 2011. Since then, we haven’t seen the Bucks much at Witter Field.
We have a more familiar opponent who spent six years in the same division as the Rafters. The La Crosse Loggers will be coming to Rapids on June 9th and July 20th. At the tail end of the baseball season, for the first time, The Minnesota Mud Puppies will have a two-game stand on August 5th and 6th. Mark these dates down in your calendar because these teams may never play at Witter Field again.
Don’t worry fans the Rafters will still host Wausau, Green Bay, and Madison. Our Rivalry is only heating up as the season grows near. The Rafters are looking for redemption with hopes to make the playoffs and win their way to their second World Series. Could 2024 be the year?
