American Associaiton Insider: June 6, 2025

 Sioux Falls 4 Kane County 3

The Canaries jumped put to a 2-0 lead, only to see a three run seventh to take the lead. The Canaries took the lead back for good in the bottom of the frame, the difference a bases loaded walk by Mike Hart. 1917 were treated to a win for the home team at the Birdcage. Programming note: I'll be on hand the next two games to provide color for Tanner Hoops on the Canaries broadcast network. What an incentive to get to the ballpark where you don't have to listen to me.

Milwaukee 15 Gary SouthShore 4

After being shutdown by Lincoln two games in a row, the Milkmen found their mojo at the plate, with a 15 run, 17 hit attack in front of 1847 at the Milk Cooler. Three Milkmen had two hits and three more collected three, surprisingly not a home run among them. Glenn Santiago and Chase Estep drove in three runs each. Juan Diaz was the recipient of the ample run support throwing five shutout innings. In an odd occurrence, it was the winning team pitching a position players as Estep threw the last two innings.

Cleburne 7 Chicago 2

Steven Rivas had three hits, drove in and scored a pair as the Railroaders defeated the Dogs. Austin Faith beat his former team for his first win of the season allowing a run on two hits in six innings of work. A real nice crowd of 2853 witnessed it at the Pasta Bowl. 

Kansas City 6 Winnipeg 2

The Monarchs win their third game in a row. Isiah Gilliam homered for the eighth time this season. Meanwhile John Nogowski had three hits to pace the Monarchs and drive his average to .471 since joining his former adversaries. Daniel Martinez won his second game of the season going six innings allowing one run. 3980 were on hand at Blue Cross Park.

Lincoln 7 Fargo-Moorhead 4

The long ball was the weapon for the Saltdogs in winning their third game in a row. Brody Fahr, Kyle Battle, Drew DeVine (since when did we start capitalizing the V?) and Neyfy Castillo all went deep for the Saltdogs. 6138 enjoyed a June evening at Haymarket Park. 

Lake Country 7 Sioux City 2

Much like last night in Sioux Falls it was a big inning that did Sioux City in as the DockHounds put up six runs in the sixth. Kelvin Pilot threw six shutout innings to get his first win of the season.

 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...
