The Minden Millers have bounced back from their season-opening loss with a decisive win in their first home game of the 2026 Baseball Landesliga season. Playing at Miller Park in Minden, Germany, the team secured a clear victory over the Marl Sly Dogs on April 18, 2026, marking their first home triumph of the year.
The Minden Millers, officially known as the Minden Millers/Maniacs baseball and softball club, are the sole baseball and softball organization in the Minden-Lübbecke region. Their Herrenmannschaft (men’s team) competes in the Baseball Landesliga I in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany’s highest amateur baseball league structure.
According to the club’s official website, the Minden Millers Herrenmannschaft holds regular training sessions on Tuesdays from 18:00 to 20:00 and Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00 at their home facility. The team is coached by Adrian Haan and Dario Erhardt, who oversee player development and game preparation.
The victory over Marl Sly Dogs comes one week after the Minden Millers suffered an 18-5 defeat to the Untouchables Paderborn III in their season opener on April 11, 2026. That opening game loss had marked a challenging start to their Landesliga campaign.
Minden Millers’ scheduled fixtures for late April 2026 include a rematch against the Dortmund Rhinos on April 26, 2026, also set to seize place at Miller Park. The team’s home venue, Miller Park in Minden, serves as the central hub for their training and competitive matches throughout the season.
The Minden Millers organization maintains both men’s and women’s teams, with the women’s squad competing as the Minden Maniacs. The club also supports youth development through U15 and U12 teams, having introduced the U12 division in summer 2025. Their annual baseball camp remains a key community engagement initiative.
Historically, the Minden Millers trace their origins to the Bückeburg Bandits, with the Minden Bandits forming around 1996 from that earlier club. This lineage means the organization has represented baseball in the Minden-Lübbecke district for over 25 years, maintaining continuous local presence in the sport.
The club actively engages with local media, having previously received coverage from the Mindener Tageblatt. Their social media presence includes official Facebook updates where they share match results, training announcements and community events.
With this home victory, the Minden Millers aim to build momentum as they continue their Landesliga I schedule. The team’s next official checkpoint is the April 26 match against Dortmund Rhinos at Miller Park, where they will look to secure back-to-back wins.
Fans and followers can stay updated on the Minden Millers’ progress through the club’s official website and social media channels, which provide regular updates on match results, upcoming fixtures, and team news.
The Minden Millers will next take the field on April 26, 2026, at Miller Park in Minden for their Landesliga I encounter with the Dortmund Rhinos, beginning at 18:00 local time.
