Sorry I didn't have anything for you last night. I was covering the local amateur team who had a 8pm first pitch, 40 minutes from home. By the time I traveled the country side highways and got home, it was 11:30 and I had a 7 am wake up staring me down.
Kansas City 25 Fargo-Moorhead 9
I guess if you're going to give up 25 runs, do it when you're hosting a businessman's special and a good chunk of the crowd is just happy to escape work and the final score is inconsequential. After a late night where it was a RedHawks slugfest win, the Monarchs struck back, breaking a league record for home runs in a game with eight. Grant Richardson was a Griffin Doersching away from line of the week going 4-5 with three home runs and seven runs driven in. I think I've mentioned several times already that this is going to be a dangerous Monarchs team if they get some hitting, they showed their potential today.

All good things must come to an end, and this was the case with the DockHounds who saw their winning streak end at 14 games. Somewhere the 2010 Pensacola Pelicans were busting out a bit of the bubbly. At a park not conducive to winning with the long ball, the Cougars did that as Sam Dexter (two run shot), Claudio Finol (three run) and Charles Mack (solo) all went deep in the win. Reese Sharp picked up his third win in three starts, holding the vaunted DockHouds offense to two runs in five innings.

A Goldeyes rally from a 3-0 deficit went for naught as the Railroaders scored in the 10th inning and made it stick winning the rubber game of the series. Ben Hampton threw six shutout innings allowing six hits, but the Roaders pen could not hold the lead. The Railroaders have played .500 baseball in their last ten games and are just two games behind Gary SouthShore with an interesting matchup coming up in Sioux City this weekend.

The Explorers bullpen wasted a six inning, one run, 11 strikeout performance by Zach Willeman as the Canaries stormed back scoring five runs in the final two innings to take the series in Sioux City. The X's came into the ninth leading 4-3 but Tahnaj Thomas could not find the strike zone walking the bases loaded before Ryan Beaird hit Trevor Achenbach with a pitch to tie the game and Scott Combs came through in the clutch once again with a two run double that proved to be the difference after Henry George hit a solo home run in the last of the ninth. It was supposed to be a big night for the Explorers as Warming Bernabel who was playing for the Colorado Rockies last season made his Explorers debut. But on a line shot up the middle in his first at bat that deflected off the pitcher and toward second base, Bernabel injured his knee having to run hard to first all the sudden. Such bad luck, best wishes to Bernabel in what sources are speculating is a major injury.
