Class C baseball in Howard Lake, Minnesota
The Howard Lake Orphans are an amateur baseball club from Howard Lake, Minnesota, playing Class C in the North Star League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 19-8 in 2026 under manager Shane Heber at Memorial Park.
This is the second Orphans in the Minnesota set, after Hancock. Two separate towns, three hundred miles apart, independently decided that the right name for a baseball club was the one that means nobody is coming for you. Howard Lake then won nineteen games with it.
Twelve classification points is mid Class C for a Wright County town of about two thousand, and nineteen wins in twenty-seven games is well clear of what that grade predicts.
The second club in this directory to call itself the Orphans, and this one won nineteen games. High Cheese gives Howard Lake the page to make something of that.
