For one night while the Rawhide played the Colorado Rockies affiliate, Rawhide Ballpark played like it was Coors Field. Marty Herum drove home a season-high five runs for the Rawhide and Daniel Lockhart had the go-ahead bases-loaded hit for the second time in the last four games as the Rawhide erased a 7-2 deficit in […]
With Oakland’s second ranked prospect AJ Puk cruising on the mound and the Rawhide trailing 3-2, Gregor Blanco led off the eighth inning by working the count full and slapping a single the other way. Puk also went full to Jason Morozowski before the right fielder doubled down the right field line to score Blanco […]
A day after the Rawhide had captured some late-innings magic to orchestrate an eighth inning comeback against Modesto, Visalia couldn’t manage to get their offensive rhythm going and had a quiet afternoon at the plate. Modesto took advantage of Jose Almonte’s wildness in the third inning and then never looked back, winning the final game […]
Heading into the top of the eighth inning, Visalia was staring down a 2-1 deficit and a strong back-end of the Modesto bullpen that had shut the Rawhide down last weekend at Rawhide Ballpark. Gregor Blanco led off the inning by slapping a double the opposite way into left-center field and was promptly scored by […]
Visalia was trailing before they even came to the plate tonight after Lake Elsinore had led for the entirety of the past two ballgames. But Marty Herum led off the second inning by roping a 2-0 offering from Storm starter Pedro Avila into the right-center field gap to start an offensive onslaught for the Rawhide. […]
Coming off of a three-game sweep, there was some excitement in the air in Visalia as Yoan Lopez, the eight-million dollar man out of Cuba who had been ranked as high as the 5th best prospect in the Diamondbacks system in 2015, was scheduled to get the start. But after completing his warm-up pitches he […]
In the first two games of the series, the Modesto hitters made Rawhide Ballpark look like Coors Field, having scored 20 runs. And from the sixth pitch of the final game of the set, it became clear that trend wouldn’t change. Braden Bishop took Rawhide starter Justin Donatella deep for his first home run of […]
Ivan Pineyro had been on cruise control for his first four innings. He struck out the side in the first and seemed like he had Modesto’s number. He allowed a couple of runners in the fifth inning but worked around it and, at that point, had a 2-1 lead. Then the sixth inning happened. Pineyro […]
For the second consecutive night, the bullpens of the Rawhide and 66ers were trading scoreless innings while dominating. Bud Jeter had already pitched a perfect 9th inning and had retired one batter in the ninth. With a 2-2 count to the 9 batter Jake Yacinich, Jeter left a pitch over the plate and Yacinich made […]
Michael Hermosillo launched Ivan Pineyro’s fifth pitch of the ballgame deep to left that, off the bat, looked playable for Galli Cribs. But Cribbs lost the ball in the setting sun and it sailed over his head, giving Hermosillo a leadoff double. On the next pitch, Zach Gibbons tripled on a sinking line-drive to center […]
