Dodgers “Pack the Park Pink;” Lose Sixth Straight Game

Round Rock Express – 7

Oklahoma City Dodgers – 3

Friday, Aug. 12, 2022 – Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark – Oklahoma City, Okla.

Game Summary: The Round Rock Express scored seven straight runs as they sent the Oklahoma City Dodgers to a 7-3 loss Friday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The Dodgers took the first lead of the game as Drew Avans led off with his 10th triple of the season and scored on a RBI groundout by Edwin Ríos in the first inning. Round Rock (59-50) took the lead in the fourth inning, scoring runs on a RBI ground-rule double by Josh Sale and a RBI double by Nick Tanielu. The Express added three more runs in the fifth inning with a RBI double by Andy Ibáñez and a two-run homer by Davis Wendzel for a 5-1 advantage. Wendzel hit his second home run of the night in the eighth inning, boosting the Express to a 7-1 lead with another two-run shot. In the bottom of the ninth inning, four straight Dodgers reached base with two outs, including a two-run single by Omar Estévez, but the Dodgers (62-47) fell to 0-4 in the series.

Of Note:

-The Dodgers have now lost six consecutive games for their longest losing streak of the season and have lost six games in a row for the first time since Aug. 20-26, 2019. They are 1-7 in the last eight games overall and have lost the first four games of their six-game series against the Express for their first 0-4 start to a series since May 6-9, 2021 in Round Rock.

-Drew Avans hit his PCL-leading 10th triple of the season in the first inning, which tied the OKC team record for triples in a season during the Bricktown era (since 1998), matching Joaquin Arias’ 10 triples during the 2006 season. Avans went 2-for-5 and scored a run as he extended his on-base streak to 48 games. He owns the longest active on-base streak in the Minors and the longest on-base streak by an OKC player during the MLBAM era (since 2005). He has reached base in 62 of his last 63 games and his 48-game on-base streak is the longest in the PCL since 2018.

-Edwin Ríos extended his hitting streak to nine games, going 1-for-4 with a RBI and a walk as he continued his Major League Rehab Assignment. During the nine-game streak he is 12-for-37 with four doubles and owns the longest active hitting streak by an OKC player. He was initially placed on the Los Angeles Dodgers Injured List June 3 with a right hamstring injury and was transferred to the 60-day IL June 22.

-Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers Blake Treinen and Brusdar Graterol opened Major League Rehab Assignments Friday with OKC. Treinen pitched a scoreless sixth inning with a strikeout, flyout and groundout, throwing nine pitches (seven strikes). Graterol pitched a scoreless seventh inning with a walk, double play and strikeout, throwing 14 pitches (eight strikes). Treinen was placed on the LAD Injured List April 22 due to right shoulder inflammation and was transferred to the 60-day IL May 17. Graterol was placed on the LAD Injured List with right shoulder inflammation July 11.

-Over the last six losses, the Dodgers have allowed 48 runs, including seven or more runs four times. During the same span, the Dodgers have scored 16 runs, with three runs or fewer in five of the six games.

-The OKC Dodgers took the field in special edition pink jerseys to “Pack the Park Pink” with MidFirst Bank and promote breast cancer awareness. The game-worn jerseys were auctioned to benefit Susan G. Komen Oklahoma.

What’s Next: The series between the Dodgers and Express continues at 6:05 p.m. Saturday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark on Faith and Family Night. The evening includes a postgame concert by Tauren Wells, presented by Scott Dawson Evangelistic Association and Hobby Lobby. The ZOOperstars! are also set to perform throughout the evening as the fun, inflatable characters dance, perform acrobatics, tricks and comedy on the field between innings.

Largest crowd of season powers Paint the Park Pink win

Spikes fans raised $9,265, the most-ever for a Paint the Park Pink Night, through the Jersey-off-the-Back Auction and 50/50 Drawing on Saturday to benefit the Mount Nittany Health Foundation.

BOX SCORE

PLAY-BY-PLAY

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – A crowd of 5,313 fans, the largest of the season for the State College Spikes at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, cheered on the Spikes on Saturday night as they took a 6-3 win over the Mahoning Valley Scrappers and raised the most funds in a single Paint the Park Pink Night presented by Mount Nittany Health.

Fans responded in full force to join the fight against breast cancer as together, they raised $9,265 in bidding on the Spikes’ special Pink and Black Jerseys to benefit the Mount Nittany Foundation and the work done by the Breast Care Center at Mount Nittany Health, as well as through the 50/50 Drawing at the ballpark.

The night was capped by the second straight night of FIREWORKS from the Field, as fans were invited onto the ballpark infield to see another spectacular lighting up the skies thanks to Mount Nittany Health. Three more shows remain on the 2022 schedule, with College Township presenting the action on Saturday, August 20, McClure Company presenting the show on Saturday, August 27, and Starfire Corporation presenting the show at the season finale on Sunday, September 4.

Saturday night’s crowd, many of whom were decked out in pink themselves to show their support for the fight, helped generate the Spikes’ (5-4 2nd half) late surge to take their third straight win. Ryan Chesney and DeAndre Shelton each took bases-loaded walks to break a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning, with Trent Taylor’s infield single bolstering the lead to three.

State College bounced back from going down 2-0 in the third on Dom Bucko’s RBI single and an error to plate a run in the fourth. Brody Perkes beat out an infield single to start the inning, then stole second and advanced a base on back-to-back flyouts, the last a Colin Adams sacrifice fly to score the run.

In the fifth, Nick Gile drove in his eighth run, the most for the Spikes in the second half, with a single to center field to score Shelton. A passed ball then brought in Taylor to give State College the lead.

In the eighth, Mahoning Valley (3-6 2nd half) tied the game on Adam Fogel’s RBI double before the power of pink drove the Spikes’ late flurry.

Spikes reliever Tristen Hudson (1-0) earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings to close the game. Hudson, who recorded the final out for North Greenville in the NCAA Division II national championship game this June, gave up just one hit and recorded one strikeout to net his first MLB Draft League win.

Scrappers reliever Brenton Thomas (0-1) took the loss after being charged with all three of the Spikes’ eighth-inning runs in 1/3 of an inning on the mound. Thomas yielded one hit and four walks.

The Spikes and Scrappers are set to finish their four-game series at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Sunday, with State College looking for the sweep in the 4:05 p.m. contest. Right-hander Beau Nichols (0-1) will get the start for the Spikes, while right-hander Jarod Sprinkle (0-0) gets the ball for Mahoning Valley.

Sunday’s fun is headlined by Still Strong Night, featuring a special appearance from foundation co-founder, former NFL defensive lineman and proud Blue & White alum Devon Still. In addition to Still throwing out a first pitch and being part of the night’s activities, proceeds from the Spikes’ 50/50 drawing for the night will go to the Still Strong Foundation, and fans will have many ways to find out how to support the foundation and its cause.

It’s also a a Sunday Funday presented by Bigfoot Country Classics, with a Pre-Game Catch on the Field from 3:00-3:30 p.m., half-price hard seltzers from 3:00-5:00 p.m_.,_ and Kids Eat Free as the first 250 kids get a voucher good for a free hot dog, chips and soda.

Reno Aces to host fifth “Home Run for Life” ceremony on Friday

 

RENO, Nev. – The Reno Aces will host their fifth Saint Mary’s “Home Run for Life” ceremony of 2021, featuring Carrie Chamberlin, a breast cancer warrior,on Friday, Sept. 3 when the Aces take on the Tacoma Rainiers at 6:35 p.m. PT at Greater Nevada Field.

Since 2014, the Aces and Saint Mary’s have partnered to showcase the “Home Run for Life” program. Once a month, a brave individual in the Northern Nevada community is honored by taking a ceremonial trip around the bases with each team lining the baselines. The ceremony symbolizes the end of a battle against adversity. Individuals honored have overcome a significant medical event in their life with the help of Saint Mary’s personnel.

Carrie persevered through her relentless battle with breast cancer.

In October 2015, Chamberlin was diagnosed with stage zero ductal carcinoma in situ, which is abnormal cells found in the milk ducts of a women’s breast. Following surgery and a small round of radiation, the long-time Aces fan found herself clear of cancerous cells.

After five years without any issues, a time for celebration turned sour as Carrie found out she had breast cancer on Christmas Eve. A little over a month after the positive diagnosis, Chamberlin had both of her breasts removed and the doctors were able to remove all of the cancer cells.

The real battle came in the weeks following, as Carrie had struggled with mobility in both of her arms. Had it not been for Saint Mary’s Fitness Center and her fitness trainers, Denise and Stephanie, her road to recovery would have been stunted.

As of August 2021, Chamberlin has been cancer-free and credits her family, friends and the Saint Mary’s professionals for getting her healthy and in shape to take her life back.

Carrie Chamberlin will round the bases commemorating her “Home Run for Life” in the middle of the second inning on Friday night. The Reno Aces and the Tacoma Rainiers players and staff will be lined up at a 12-foot distance to greet him as she makes her way toward home plate.

Greater Nevada Field gates open at 5:35 p.m. PT on Friday, Sept. 3. Tickets are on sale now at www.renoaces.com or by calling (775) 334-7000.
