THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Border Cats will be back at Port Arthur Stadium on May 31, welcoming the Minnesota Mud Puppies to town for the start of a six-game homestand.

The Northwoods League team on Monday released its 2024 schedule, showing the team spending the first four days of its 19th season on the road, starting on May 27 for the first of two against the Rochester Honkers.

In order to accommodate the upcoming 2024 Women’s World Baseball Cup, the Border Cats will play 14 games on the road, from July 18 to Aug. 4, returning to Thunder Bay on Aug. 5 to wrap up the regular season with four games against Eau Claire and two against the Waterloo Bucks.

The Cats will also be at home on Canada Day, taking on the Rochester Honkers.

There will also be a pair of school-day games, on June 10 against Duluth and June 19 against Waterloo.

The Border Cats will play a 70-game schedule, with 36 home games and 34 on the road.

Season tickets are on sale now and single-game tickets will be up for grabs on May 1.

Game times most nights will be 6:35 p.m., with 1:35 p.m. or 5:05 p.m. starts on Sundays – with the exception of June 30, which is a 7:35 p.m. start to accommodate fireworks, the second of three fireworks shows next season.
