Sigh

At least trash can wily is ruining AAA playoff chances instead of Milwaukee's.

Colorado Springs Box Score

 

The Redbirds are 12-0 in extra-inning games this season, per their own summary.

 

Yadiel Rivera on base four more times, the longtime offensively-challenged infielder does get on these runs occasionally - remember that Arizona Fall League campaign he put together?

 

Michael Blazek and Wily Peralta - ugh.

 

Loss ruined what would have been a huge remembrance game for catcher Tyler Heineman.

Final: Helena 12, Billings 11

 

Brewers Beat Billings In Season Finale

Helena overcomes a pair of three-run deficits to win final game in 2017

By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers

 

Even a 2013 Michael Ratterree reference, he was another case of not getting hyped about college-age power numbers out of the Pioneer League.

Helena Box Score

 

RHP's Matt Hardy and Cody Martin got to end the season on a high note.

 

Helena Game Log

 

No reason given for Gabriel Garcia's 5th inning departure. Switch-hitting SS Antonio Pinero finished the season 10-for-28.
