The Sartell Muskies founded the Omann Insurance Invitational Tournament in 2007 as a 4 team-1 day event. In 2008 the tournament expanded to 8 teams and 2 fields, as the Muskies recruited the St. Stephen Steves as co-hosts.
The Steves and Muskies immediately invited high caliber teams to the tournament, collecting 7 state tournament teams for the 2008 tourney. Each year since, the tournament has had multiple state tournement teams. Three times in 6 years the class 'C' state champion has come from the tournament field, including:
2008: Elko Express - 1st in Omann Insurance Invite
2011: Isanti Redbirds - 2nd in Omann Insurance Invite
2013: Sartell Muskies - 1st in Omann Insurance Invite
The Steves and the Muskies offer good baseball and scenic home ballparks. The team’s fields are separated by a quick 7 mile drive. Both ballparks are surrounded by dense woods and are well groomed. Both fields have excellent pitching mounds built by Avon’s Pete Schleper.
By using 2 fields this tournament offers a compact schedule. There are no 9:00 AM morning games and no late games on Sunday.
