American Association Insider- May 21, 2025

 In what we've become accustomed to in late May, cold damp weather, the American Association chugged along with six games in five ballparks.

Sioux Falls at Lake Country PPD

They'll try to play two at Kamp Oconomowoc on Thursday. 

Cleburne 3 Kane County 2

In another morning game, the Railroaders once again defeated the Cougars, taking a 3-1 lead after two innings and making it stick. Blair Henley went the distance for the Railroaders and sent the crowd of 1207 home early in a game that clocked in at just over two hours.

Winnipeg 11 Milwaukee 6

The Goldeyes put up all their runs in the first four innings highlighted by a seven run third inning as they defeated Milwaukee in front of 1599 at Blue Cross Park. Mitchell Lambson goes to 2-0 giving up a pair of runs in six innings of work.

Lincoln 7 Kansas City 3

Down 3-2 in the home half of the fourth inning, the Saltdogs scored four and shut down the Monarchs the rest of the way. Kyle Battle connected for his third home run in two days for the Saltdogs, while Isiah Gilliam continues his hot start hitting his fifth of the year for the Monarchs. 2282 saw it at Haymarket Park

Sioux City 11 Gary SouthShore 7

The Explorers scored in every inning except the eighth and made it stick as they held on to defeat the Railcats. 465 was the paid attendance with I'm guessing considerably fewer sticking it out for the three hour 44 minute marathon. Luis Toribio's three run home run in the first inning was the only home run of the night.

Chicago 4 Fargo Moorhead 0 Game 1

Connor Curliss was once again brilliant for the Dogs. Curliss struck out 11 and only allowed a single hit in six innings of work. Jacob Teter doubled in a run and later scored in the seventh to add some cushion to a 1-0 game.

Fargo Moorhead 4 Chicago 1

The RedHawks scored three runs in the sixth inning to break up a 1-1 deadlock and allowed the RedHawks to split the doubleheader. Announced attendance for the night was 2591 with only a brave few souls sticking it out to the end on a raw Fargo evening.

 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. Last night's hero Chase Estep went 4-6 and Delvin Perez went 4-5 to lead the Milkmen attack. Chase Gearing won his second start in a row with a six inning, one earned run effort.  Kansas City 5 Winnipeg 4 A Ross Adolph sacrifice fly in the sixth inning put the Monarchs ahead for good as they defeated the Goldeyes for the ninth time in ten games at Blue Cross Park. Jailyn Williams went 3-5 for the Goldeyes to lead a 11 hit attack. Andy Armstrong had three hits out of the nine hole for the Goldeyes. Daniel Martinez made it through five inni...
