Photo recap: FOX 9 Town Ball Tour heads to Plato

PLATO, Minn. (FOX 9) - It was another beautiful week for FOX 9's Town Ball Tour as we made a stop in Plato for a matchup between the Gaylord Islander -- which almost didn't happen.

The game was able to go on Wednesday despite a tornado hitting the city of Plato just two nights before. Those storms damaged the Blue Jays' field, including ripping apart a fence.
