American Association Insider- May 11, 2025

 It was time for me to cover some Townball up here in Minnesota, so I didn't have much time to catch American Association outside of a wild and controversial ending to the game in Kansas City that'll we get to later and tonight's Winnipeg at Cleburne game.

Milwaukee 4 Gary SouthShore 0

The Milkmen are the only undefeated team in the East after sweeping the RailCats on Sunday afternoon in front of 1408 at Franklin Field. Matt Givin was givin' up eight hits in five innings for the Milkmen but did not allow a run. Glenn Santiago homered and Carlos Amaya drove in two runs in the winning effort.

Fargo Moorhead 9 Sioux Falls 5

In the battle of two American Association veterans, it was Greg Minier getting the best of Ryan Zimmerman. It was a tough 2025 debut for Zimmerman as he allowed nine runs, eight earned, not getting out of the third inning. Minier got through five, allowing a pair of runs. On a day the wind was blowing out the crowd of 2005 saw just two home runs by the home team (Juan Fernandez and Eric Meza.

Chicago 6 Lake Country 1

Five runs in the fifth and sixth were the difference as the Dogs were able to salvage the final game of their series with the DockHounds in front of 6047 at Impact Field. Veteran Clint Coulter led the way for the Dogs with three runs batted in going 2-4

Kansas City 4 Lincoln 3

In the game of the day, the Monarchs scored a pair of runs with two out in the 11th inning to sweep the Saltdogs 4-3. A hit by Jorge Bonifacio which was originally ruled a foul ball as the ball landed near the line in the left field corner was overturned resulting in a Monarchs victory. There was no good camera angles on whether the ball landed fair. 

Cleburne 6 Winnipeg 5

The Railroaders made a sweep of Winnipeg teams in Texas on Sunday night with a one run victory over the Goldeyes at La Moderna Field. It was clear sailing until the ninth inning for the Railroaders as the Goldeyes scored a pair and had the tying run on second before the Roaders were able to shut the door. Pointstreak has the game tied at five as of press time so I have no idea on the attendance.

 We've got through May, cruised through June and are now into July, so of course that means All Star Game picks. The American Association version of the Mid Summer Classic will be in Fargo two weeks from Monday. A skills competition (haven't seen one of those in a long time) and the Home Run Derby will be on Monday July 21, with the All Star Game on Tuesday night. Players stats were as of July 4th. Click here for your All Star Game Tickets West Division Catcher: Juan Fernandez, Fargo-Moorhead. Fernandez after an injury plagued 2024, has stayed healthy and has been a mainstay of the RedHawks lineup thus far in 2025. Fernandez has 23 RBI and is batting .313 First Base: Matthew Warkentin, Winnipeg. Warkentin has come on strong in the last few weeks to become part of the conversation. I could see the votes putting Josh Rehwaldt at first base but he has been in the outfield more times than not lately. Warkentin going into Friday has nine home runs and 32 runs batted in with a .292 a...

 Seven games on tap for a Sunday afternoon in the American Association. If you weren't at a ballpark, I hope you all enjoyed your Sunday, whatever you did.  Milwaukee 12 Kane County 3 The Milkmen building on the momentum of last night's walk off win defeated the Cougars at Franklin Field. The Milkmen put this one away with a five run third inning, highlighted by a three run home run by Scott Ota. It was a part of a three RBI day for Ota.
