Minor league baseball is officially on its way to northern Colorado.
The Pioneer Baseball League on Thursday released the 2022 schedule, which includes 10 teams. It will begin in May and run until mid-September.
The Northern Colorado Owlz, previously the Orem Owlz, is part of the league and one of two expansion teams.
Northern Colorado will begin its season on May 25 in Great Falls, Montana. Its home opener is scheduled for June 2 against the Rocky Mountain Vibes.
“We’re very excited to begin the 2022 season after the historic year we just completed,” Pioneer League Commissioner Jim McCurdy said in a statement. “By adding two new teams in two new ballparks, the league is poised to build on its promise to sensibly expand throughout the Mountain States region. I’m truly impressed that we were able to put together this schedule that balances our clubs’ individual requirements with the league’s new mandate to significantly reduce travel times for the benefit of our players.”
A new team in Flathead, Montana, also joins the league for its inaugural season.
The teams will play 96 games, with the season dived in half. The first half will end July 17, and the other half will end Sept. 10. The league is divided into two divisions.
