Cathedral's state champion baseball team will be honored by the St. Cloud Rox and Minnesota Twins next week.

First, the Rox will welcome the Crusaders to Joe Faber Field on Wednesday July 16th before their game with the Waterloo Bucks. Head coach Bob Karn will throw out the ceremonial first pitch following a pregame ceremony on the field.

On Monday July 21st Cathedral will return to the site of their dramatic championship win over Fairmont when they are honored by the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. Karn will again throw out the first pitch (on a normal four days rest) before the Twins take on the Cleveland Indians.

The Crusaders won the state baseball title with an exciting rally in the seventh and final inning on June 16th.
