OGDEN RAPTORS VS OREM OWLS

The Ogden Raptors bat
against the Orem Owlz

For the final night of our trip, we found ourselves in Ogden, Utah to see the Ogden Raptors host the Orem Owlz. This completed our circuit of the Pioneer League. It was our only opportunity to see the Raptors play while it was our fourth time seeing the Owlz.

Ogden is the biggest draw in the league having led the Pioneer League in attendance since they moved into Lindquist Field in 1997. It offers views of downtown Ogden and panoramic vistas of the Wasatch Mountains even nicer than those in Orem. One of the teams co-owners is also the P.A. announcer at the ballpark.

OREM OWLS VS. CASPER GHOSTS

at Brent Brown Ballpark in Orem, UT

Orem is Utah's sixth largest city, located about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City and adjacent to Provo. Orem is on the eastern shore of Utah Lake and near Mt. Timpanogos of Utah's Wasatch Mountain Range. It is also home to Utah Valley University and the Orem Owlz of the Pioneer League, a farm club of the Anaheim Angels. (No, I'm not buying into that Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim nonsense.)
