Chanhassen has built it, and the team is coming.

The Chanhassen Red Birds geared up for their first amateur baseball season with a gathering of club officials and city leaders on Friday afternoon at Chanhassen High School.

The ballclub unveiled its team logo, uniform and cap, and introduced its manager and mascot.

Chris Reuvers, Chanhassen's first manager, said the team is already off to a great start, even two months before the season-opener.

"I've never seen a team have such community support and a start like this," Reuvers said.

As good as the state 2A semifinal between Minnetonka and Hill-Murray was, somebody had to win it.

Minnetonka's Erik Baskin put the biscuit in the Pioneers' basket in the fourth overtime session to win the state Class 2A semifinal 2-1.

The Skippers appeared to win the game in the second overtime session, but a centering pass was ruled to go in off a Skipper skate.

The game was tied since late in the first period at the Xcel Energy Center.
