Redlegs Stumble out of the Gate, Again

04/15/2023
 

The Redlegs experienced a bit of déjà vu in their opener last weekend as they fell to the reigning champion Dayton Rangers by an almost identical score as their 2022 opening day matchup.

05/01/2022
 

Fresh off the save in game 1, Beall took the mound in game 2 in opposition to the Redlegs Jesse Jones. This turned out to be a fantastic pitchers duel as both hurlers were absolutely dialed in.
