The baseball season in Omaha began with a washout, as the much-anticipated exhibition game between the Royals and Omaha Storm Chasers from TD Ameritrade Stadium was rained out in March. But the Royals will return next year, and it was announced they will play the first-ever regular season Major League game in Omaha, taking on the Tigers just before the College World Series championship series in June next year.
On the field, the Storm Chasers experienced their third consecutive losing season, finishing 66-74. Some of that may be because the AAA team, like the MLB-squad, has gotten younger since they won the AAA championship in 2014.
