The Loggers operate in the model a Minor League team: playing nightly before fans in stadiums which seat thousands, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment, and experiencing road trips between games. Like all other summer collegiate players, the Loggers are unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility, and live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players.
