League meeting continued
there are teams with equal losses the head-to-head result will be the determining factor for seeding .
The issue is when there are 3 ties , one from each of the three leagues . There was further discussion on this topic until Adam Dammann ( Plato ) moved to adjust the 3 way tie-breakers as follows :
# 1 – Overall Record # 2 – Head-To-Head # 3 – Runs Scored Head-To-Head # 4 – Overall Runs Scored per Game # 5 – Individual League Winning Percentage # 6 – Coin Flip

Twins Community Fund awards City of Cologne and Cologne Baseball Association $ 10,000 grant
By Jason Kuerschner , Cologne Baseball Association Board Member
There have been many changes to Robert G . Fritz Memorial Field in Cologne over the past 10-plus years . During that time the Cologne Baseball Association ( Hollanders ) and the City of Cologne have worked together on different projects . It all started with the electronic scoreboard in 2005 . That led to the eventual replacement of the outfield fence , from chain link to wood . The City of Cologne put $ 10,000 towards this project , with the Hollander players suppling the labor and some additional funding .
From there , the grandstand and concession stand were addressed . In the grandstand there were a pair of additions : a press box and the installation of permanent seats . These seats were leftover seats from old Milwaukee County Stadium , by way of the Apple Valley , MN community . Then came the expansion of the concession stand , which doubled its size .
This brings us to the most recent and most expensive upgrade to the
park : lights . This is where the City of Cologne stepped in again monetarily , as both entities committed to a 50 / 50 partnership to secure the lights . While the City of Cologne paid for everything up front , the Baseball Association is committed to pay back the city their portion of the costs . I am proud to report that the Hollanders have one final payment remaining , in January 2017 .
Now for the most recent project at Fritz Field … dugouts ! The current dugouts – while functional – are beginning to show their age , lack of size and safety features . This year the club and the City have added a partner to this project – and that partner is the Minnesota Twins by way of the Twins Community Fund !
The Baseball Association and the City of Cologne are very excited to announce that the Twins Community fund has awarded our community a $ 10,000 grant for the purposes of replacing the dugouts and other concrete work at

Robert G . Fritz Memorial Field . With this grant and other donations of labor and money , the project is expected to increase the size of the dugouts and add safety features and storage space , which will make the dugouts better for the numerous youth programs that have come to love to play in Cologne .
The club expects to start this project in August of 2016 after the various seasons have concluded and we have an opportunity to not conflict with game schedules . Upon completion it is the intention of the Hollanders to have a recognition / celebration at the first Friday night game in May 2017 , with the Twins ’ organization and all those involved in the project to be recognized . As many of you may know , that first Friday night home Hollander game has become an annual tradition of shooting off fireworks at game ’ s end to kick off the new season of baseball in Cologne .
