American Association Insider: August 9, 2025

 All six scheduled games got in on Saturday night, though one was rain shortened.

Sioux City 5 Fargo-Moorhead 4 (10 innings)

I was on hand for a doozy of a game on Saturday night at Lewis and Clark Park. Zac Vooletich singled with the bases loaded in the tenth to deliver a big win for Sioux City. Michael Hallquist had two triples for the RedHawks. Austin Davis had the only home run of the game, a two run shot in the second inning. 



Sioux Falls 15 Kansas City 10

The Canaries and Monarchs had an old fashioned Birdcage shootout. The Canaries led 12-3 after three innings before the Monarchs put up seven runs to make it a two run game, but the Canaries pulled away for three more to pull away. Jabari Henry homered twice, his 18th and 19th and drove in five runs. Matt Ruiz went deep for the sixth time and drove in four runs from the bottom of the order. Calvin Estrada chipped in with his 17th home run. Robbie Glendinning drove in five runs including a two run double, a two run home run, his 16h. 

Milwaukee 4 Kane County 0 (five innings)

Mitchell Sanford hit a three run home run and Matt Walker threw five shutout innings as the Milkmen win a rain shortened game. 

Lake Country 4 Chicago 2

The DockHounds win their fifth in a row and expand their lead in the East defeated the Dogs. In a rarity, neither team homered at Kamp Oconomowoc. Newly reacquired Chavez Young led the way with three runs batted in for the Hounds. Brett Conine picked up his third win allowing one run in seven innings to pick up his third win. 

Winnipeg 8 Lincoln 7

Ray-Patrick Didder homered and drove in three runs to lead the Goldeyes attack as they knock off Lincoln 8-7 at Blue Cross Park. Matthew Warkentin also drove in three to help the Goldeyes cause. Spencer Henson went 4-4 with three runs driven in for the Saltdogs. 

Gary SouthShore 9 Cleburne 2

The RailCats took their fourth in a row at La Moderna Field. The RailCats put up three in the fourth inning and drove in four in the eighth. Dawson Lane picked up the win throwing six shutout innings. Nick Ultsch drove in three runs and Olivier Basabe knocked in a pair for the RailCats.

 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...
