American Association Insider: June 21, 2025

 Full slate of games on a steamy Saturday night in the American Association.

Sioux Falls 8 Fargo-Moorhead 6

It was a rare 3pm start at the Birdcage, not the best timing as it was 96 degrees at first pitch with a hot wind blowing out to left. The RedHawks had got out to a 5-1 lead in the top of the third, but the Canaries scored seven of the last eight runs of the game. Josh Rehwaldt had a four hit game including home run number 12 of the season. Calvin Estrada racked up three more hits to bump his batting average up to .361. Estrada extended his hitting streak to 19 games (five 3 hit games during the streak). Dillon Thomas and Miguel Ojeda Jr. both homered for the RedHawks. Tyler Jandron got the loss for the RedHawks, but credit him for going 6.2 innings in the heat. The Canaries announced that Sunday's game has been bumped up to a noon start due to what will be another day of extreme heat in Siouxland.



Milwaukee 8 Lake Country 6

The Milkmen jumped out to a 6-2 lead and was able to withstand a DockHounds rally in the late innings. Delvin Perez homered twice, driving in three runs and Scott Ota connected for a solo shot for the Milkmen. Demitrius Sims hit his sixth for the DockHounds. 

Chicago 7 Gary SouthShore 4

The Dogs bit for five runs and the RailCats were not able to claw the rest of the way back. The big blow in the five run inning was a three run double by Henry Kusiak.

Winnipeg 4 Sioux City 3

A walkoff tenth inning single by Roby Enriquez gave the Goldeyes the victory. Both sides combined for a total of 12 hits for the game. Austin Davis homered for Sioux City while Jacob Robson homered for the Goldeyes.

Lincoln 4 Kane County 2

Behind seven shutout innings from Greg Loukinen, the Saltdogs got off to a 4-0 and held on in the ninth to defeat Kane County. Raul Espinosa hit a two run home for the Saltdogs and Danny Bautista Jr. had three hits. Marcus Chiu hit a two run home run in the ninth for Kane County.

Kansas City 6 Cleburne 5

The Monarchs score two in the 11th inning and hold on to take their second game in a row over the Railroaders. Kansas City led most of the way until a Steven Rivas three run home run knotted the game at three, necessitating extra innings.

Sorry for the bare bones recaps, I was working on the Sunday Insider tonight at the same time.

 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...
