Typical Schedule
Contingent upon weather we expect the season to begin the week of May 6th and continue a 20 game schedule through the week of July 31st.
Rookies/Minors Division – Tuesdays & Thursdays
Majors Division – Mondays & Wednesdays
Modified Field Division – Mondays & Wednesdays
Full Field Division – Tuesdays & Thursdays
The expectation is that there will be no scheduled Sunday league games, except for the possibility of makeup games. Additional practices are scheduled on a team by team basis during the week.
Bat Rules
Duluth 709 Baseball will be following Gopher State/MYAS bat rules. This allows for the use of USSSA 1.15, USA and Wood Bats to be used as part of regular game play.
