American Association Insider: June 18, 2025

 In what turned out to be a partial schedule due to weather, there were rainouts in Milwaukee, Lake Country and Kane County only got one of their two games scheduled for today. Fargo-Moorhead vs. Sioux City was suspended in the top of the seventh with the game tied at two.

Kane County 3 Gary SouthShore 1

Konnor Ash continued to do Konnor Ash things, this time the victims were the RailCats. Ash went the distance striking out 10 and allowed a run on a Jairus Richards home run, while striking 10. Nick Dalesandro went 2-2 with a pair of runs batted in while Todd Lott returned to the lineup and drove in the other Cougars run with a single in a 2-3 effort.



Sioux Falls 15 Winnipeg 2

A nine run fourth inning put this one out of reach early as the Canaries cruised to a victory. The Birds had three home runs in the decisive inning as Jabari Henry hit a two run bomb to center. Josh Rehwaldt followed next with a solo. Later in the inning Matt Ruiz connected for a three run homer, part of a 3-5 night with two home runs and five runs batted in. In all it was an 18 hit attack for the Canaries. Seth Miller got the win making it through five allowing two runs. Cal Estrada also homered for the Canaries.

Cleburne 14 Kansas City 10

In what looked like a Cowboys vs. Chiefs score, the Railroaders were on the winning end of another slugfest with the Monarchs. Kyle Martin connected for his 13th home run as part of a 3-6 night with three runs batted in. Dustin Peterson hit his fifth while Korry Howell hit his sixth, a solo shot. Jesus Lujano went 3-4 in his return to Cleburne. Jailyn Williams went 3-4 with two runs batted in and Josh Bissonette went 2-4 with three runs batted in for the Monarchs.

 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...
