As winter approaches, the River Bandits are thinking about spring. Monday the Class-A affiliate of the Houston Astros released its schedule for next year.
They'll open the 2017 season of the Midwest League on Thursday April 6th, at home, against Wisconsin. And play a second home game against the Timber Rattlers the following night.
The new schedule also includes at least two home games a month on Friday nights for the River Bandits.
