The Winnipeg Goldeyes will play the Houston Apollos in an American Association exhibition baseball game at The Ballpark at Jackson at 6:35 p.m., today.
Admission is free.
The Goldeyes will use The Ballpark at Jackson as their home venue to begin the 2021 season.
According to Steve Schuster, play-by-play announcer for the Winnipeg Goldeyes, the Apollos are comprised of Pecos League All-Stars, and joined the American Association as a traveling team to help balance out the league schedule. The Goldeyes will play Houston six times during the regular season.
Saturday’s exhibition game will be broadcast live locally on CJNU 93.7 FM and worldwide at www.cjnu.ca beginning with the pre-game show at 6 p.m.
The Goldeyes open the 2021 regular season on Thursday, May 18 at Sioux Falls, and make their regular season debut at The Ballpark at Jackson on Friday, May 21 versus Chicago.
The Goldeyes will continue to monitor the reopening of the Canada/US border and assess a potential return to Shaw Park in 2021.
