American Association Insider: July 12, 2025

 It was nearly a full  slate of Saturday baseball in the American Association, Cleburne and Sioux City did not get going in spite of the fact that as of 9 pm there had not been any rain. 

Gary SouthShore 13 Lake Country 2

The RailCats had the offense rolling today. The RailCats scored three in the second inning. Two were scored on a two RBI double by Jairus Richards that saw DockHounds left fielder Brian Rey collide with the outfield wall. Rey ended up being stretchered off the field. Best wishes to Rey, hope to see him back on the field soon. The RailCats pulled away in the fifth scoring six runs on their way to a lopsided win. Lake Country was already playing short having lost Imanol Vargas to Mexico and had to lose their DH after Rey left the game. Newcomer Ernesto Zaragoza got the win going six innings allowing two runs. Richards drove in four runs while Cooper Edwards drove in five runs. Jake Guenther and Ernny Ordonez each had three hits.

Milwaukee 5 Kane County 2 (10 Innings)

Chase Estep was the hero for the Milkmen, hitting a grand slam with one out in the tenth inning to win the game for the Milkmen. Both starters, Jack Fox of Kane County and Davis Welch of Milwaukee allowed one run in seven innings. Josh Allen collected three hits for the Cougars.

Kansas City 5 Winnipeg 2

The Monarchs maintained their mastery over the Goldeyes bumping up their season head to head record to 8-1. The difference was a two run home run by Alex McGarry in the fourth inning, part of a three hit night for McGarry. Julian Garcia had his sixth 10 plus strikeout game going seven innings, allowing two runs on four hits to pick up his sixth win. Ramon Bramasco collected three hits for the Goldeyes.

Sioux Falls 6 Fargo-Moorhead 5

A solo home run from Josh Rehwaldt in the eighth inning put the Canaries up by a run, rallying from a 5-2 deficit to defeat the RedHawks at Newman Outdoor Field. Rehwaldt's home run was one of four on the night for the Canaries as Joe Vos hit his first career home run, Calvin Estrada and Mike Hart both also went deep for the Canaries. Jose Sermo homered and Lamar Sparks had three extra base hits, two doubles and a triple. 

Chicago 8 Lincoln 5

Henry Kusiak's three run home run put the Dogs ahead in the the ninth inning after trailing 5-4 going into the ninth inning. Everybody in the Dogs lineup had a hit in a balanced 10 hit attack. Spencer Henson had a solo home run for the Saltdogs. Henson had five 2 hit games in his last six games, homering five times while driving in 11 runs.

 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.
