American Association Insider: June 13, 2025

 Chicago 7 Cleburne 4

The Dogs offensive attack put them ahead 7-0 after five innings and rode it out for a 7-4 win over the Railroaders on Friday night in front of 3621 at Impact Field. Brantley Bell went 3-5 with two runs scored. Alex McGarry drove in a pair on a 2-2 effort at the plate. Keoni Cavaco defeated Cleburne for the second time in a row pitching five shutout innings.

Sioux Falls 7 Kane County 4

A three run Sioux Fall eighth inning proved decisive as the Canaries won their fourth game in a row in front of 4296 at Northwestern Medicine Field. Jabari Henry had a two run RBI double  in the eighth where three Cougars fielders converged on a ball in short right field but none of them could make a play that gave the Canaries the lead. Henry scored on the next play as a Josh Rehwaldt hit a line drive that tipped off of Josh Allen's glove into right center field.

Kansas City 11 Milwaukee 3

Jorge Bonafacio, Ross Adolph and Josh Bissonette all collected three hits to pace a 16 hit Monarchs attack as they defeated the Milkmen at Legends Field in front of an announced crowd of 2378. Robbie Glendinning hit a three run home run for the Monarchs in the sixth inning. Josh Hendrickson coming off Pitcher of the Week honors threw six innings of one run ball for the Monarchs to pick up his fourth win in his last four starts.

Winnipeg 6 Gary SouthShore 1

The Goldeyes broke open a 2-1 game in the ninth inning with four runs to defeat the RailCats who have now lost five games in a row. Kevin Garcia led the way with three runs batted and Ramon Bramasco had three hits. Mitchell Lambson went the distance on 96 pitches to pick up his fourth win of the season. It was Lambson's first complete game win since August 12, 2019 when he threw a two hitter in St. Paul in an 8-0 victory. 

Sioux City 3 Lincoln 0

Austin Drury threw seven shutout innings allowing two hits and striking out seven Saltdogs as the Explorers took the first game of a four game in three day series with the Saltdogs. DShawn Knowles broke a scoreless deadlock with a red solo cup blast in the fifth and the Explorers tacked on two more runs in the sixth. 1361 fans came out to Mercy Field at Lewis and Clark Park for Red Solo Cup night.

Lake Country 2 Fargo-Moorhead 1

It was a bookend offense night for the DockHounds as they scored a run in the first and ninth innings to defeat the RedHawks in front of 3632 at Newman Outdoor Field. Kyle Crigger was the hard luck loser allowing both runs, only one earned in eight innings of work. DockHounds pitchers allowed only two RedHawks hits and struck out 10 batters. 


I'll be celebrating my wedding anniversary tomorrow night so there will be no recaps for the games on Saturday nights. Use the teams social media outlets to get your results on what should be a fun Saturday with seven games on tap.

 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.

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...
