April 7, 1995 was opening day in the Midwest League. The Fort Wayne Wizards were hosting the brand new Michigan Battle Cats at Memorial Stadium. The Battle Cats got alot more baseball then they were expecting. The two teams battled into the 18th inning. The Battle Cats took a 4-3 lead in the top half of the inning. The Wizards were not yet done. They posted two runs on board in their half of the 18th, to win the game by a score of 5-4. This game was not your ordinary way to welcome a new club into the league. The Wizards have since moved into a new stadium Parkview Field and changed their name to the Tincaps. The Battle Cats left the league after the 2006 season. The team was transferred to Midland, a town just West of the Bay City-Saginaw area.
