Joel Payamps took the mound this evening with Rawhide starters having dealt four consecutive quality starts, and he picked up right where Justin Donatella left off yesterday, not allowing a hit until the fifth inning. Payamps (W, 3-0) had a good slider working for him all night and used it to strike out six Giants […]
It felt like deja vu all over again. Visalia went to the bottom of the ninth chasing one run and put the tying run on base, this time thanks to a two-out bloop single by Jason Morozowski that he dunked into right field. The Rawhide had put the tying run on base in eighth inning […]
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 had taken a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth and for the second straight night had turned to closer Bud Jeter to lock down the save. But Jeter, who typically exhibits pinpoint command, was not his usual self and walked the bases loaded, only throwing a total of two strikes to the […]
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 […]
