Season 10 is in the Books, Thank You!<\/h1>\n

The Bismarck Larks 2026 season recap<\/strong> is filled with moments we won\u2019t soon forget. From 59,339 fans coming through the gates to six walk-off wins, community celebrations and our milestone 10th season, this summer gave us a lot to celebrate \u2014 and even more people to thank.<\/p>\n

Dear Larks Fans,<\/p>\n

Season 10 is officially in the books.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always something strange about the ballpark getting quiet after a summer spent with thousands of people filling the stands. Once the lights turn off and the season wraps up, we finally get a chance to look back at everything that happened over the last three months.<\/p>\n

And this year, there was a lot.<\/p>\n

Thank you to the 59,339 fans who joined us at the ballpark this summer. Thank you to our 2,091 Flock Members who continue to show up for us both during the season and throughout the year. And thank you to our host families<\/a>, who welcome players into their homes every summer and give them a second family here in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

There simply isn\u2019t a Larks season without all of you.<\/p>\n

Our corporate partners and ticket holders also play a huge role in making each season possible. Their support goes far beyond a sign at the ballpark or a seat in the stands. They invest in what we\u2019re trying to build in this community.<\/p>\n

The same goes for our seasonal staff, front office team and interns. There is an incredible amount of work that happens behind the scenes to make each game night happen, and they continue to show up whenever we ask.<\/p>\n

Bismarck Larks 2026 Season Recap: Moments We\u2019ll Remember<\/h2>\n

When we look back on Season 10, some of the biggest memories won\u2019t come from the final score.<\/p>\n

We had the opportunity to welcome Britta Curl-Salemme<\/a> home to Bismarck after earning Olympic gold with Team USA<\/a>, celebrating one of our community\u2019s own alongside the next generation of local athletes. We recognized the people who keep our city moving during City of Bismarck Night and welcomed Governor Kelly Armstrong<\/a> into the dugout as a guest coach for the Dakota Ditch Chickens.<\/p>\n

That night even ended with a three-run walk-off home run against the Badlands Big Sticks.<\/p>\n

During 701 Community Night, we highlighted nine local nonprofits and the work they\u2019re doing across our community, with one organization ultimately receiving $1,000.<\/p>\n

Those are the kinds of nights we hope make people even more proud to call Bismarck-Mandan home.<\/p>\n

And there was plenty to celebrate on the field, too.<\/p>\n

Six walk-off wins. Nineteen wins at home.<\/a> Two All-Stars. The Petroleum Pennant. The Railroad to Roosevelt trophy.<\/p>\n

Season 10 gave us a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n

Thank You for an Incredible Season 10<\/h2>\n

Ten years ago, the Bismarck Larks were still an idea.<\/p>\n

Today, summer nights at the ballpark have become a tradition for tens of thousands of people across Bismarck-Mandan. That doesn\u2019t happen because of us alone. It happens because this community continues to show up, bring friends, support our players, support our partners and make the ballpark a place people want to come back to.<\/p>\n

Looking back at the Bismarck Larks 2026 season recap<\/strong>, the thing we\u2019re most grateful for isn\u2019t any single win, promotion or attendance number.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all of you.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to welcome you back to the ballpark next season. Until then, THANK YOU for making Season 10 one we\u2019ll always remember.<\/p>\n

With Gratitude,<\/p>\n
