T-Bones rained out; two games scheduled Wednesday

The Kansas City T-Bones and the Sioux City Explorers were rained out owing to unplayable field conditions Tuesday night at T-Bones Stadium in Kansas City, Kansas.

The team, led by the grounds crew, made every effort to get the field ready to play the game, but the amount of rain that has fallen in metro Kansas City was just too much to allow the teams to take the field, according to a spokesman.

The two teams will play two seven-inning games Wednesday with game one beginning at 11:05 a.m. The T-Bones are expected to start left-handed pitcher Henry Owens while Sioux City will start right-handed pitcher Jonathan McKinney. In game two, the T-Bones will start right-handed pitcher Jon Perrin while the Explorers will counter with right-handed pitcher Max Duval.

Tickets for Tuesday night’s game will be good for any future regular-season home game and may be exchanged at the Saint Luke’s box office at T-Bones Stadium for a ticket of equal or lesser value, subject to availability.

by Dan Vaughan, T-Bones

The Kansas City T-Bones (14-14) finished their seven-game road trip with a win over the Texas AirHogs (6-22) Sunday with a 7-1 win.

Newly signed right-hander and former Royals prospect Christian Binford (1-0) tossed six scoreless innings, holding Texas to just two hits in the seven-inning ball game. The two teams were scheduled to play two games, but the second game was stopped because of inclement weather after only two batters and will be made up at a later date.

Kansas City took the lead 1-0 in the first on a fielder’s choice RBI from Casey Gillaspie Binford got all the run support he needed in the third from his new teammates.

The T-Bones got an RBI double from Daniel Nava and a single from Shawn O’Malley to make it 4-0 KC off Texas starter Kevin Hilton (2-1).

Dylan Tice added to the lead with an RBI single in the fourth, and Christian Correa hit a two-run home run in the fifth to put the T-Bones out in front 7-0.

Binford gave up a two-out hit in the first then retired the next 11 batters he faced in his T-Bones debut to get the win.

He held the AirHogs to just two hits, adding four strikeouts in the win. Jackson Lowery worked one inning, giving up a run in relief. The two teams started game two, but the rain came and forced the game to stop and eventually be postponed.

The T-Bones are off Monday, June 17, but return home for a six-game homestand beginning Tuesday, June 18, with the Sioux City Explorers in the first of a three-game series. The action will be on the T-Bones Broadcast Network, http://mixlr.com/t-bones-baseball/.

by Gabby Albertson

The Kansas City T-Bones played game two of four with the Texas AirHogs Saturday night. They came to Texas ready to inch back towards .500, beating the AirHogs once again with a score of 7-2.

However, it was a slow start for both teams with neither one of them scoring until the third inning. The T-Bones scored first with a two-run home run by Ryan Brett, allowing Christian Correa to score as well, making it 2-0.

Then, Danny Mars advanced home on a fielder’s choice by Daniel Nava, and Dylan Tice came home on an error, increasing their lead to 4-0.

The Texas AirHogs soon made it on the board, 4-1, in the bottom of the fourth with a home run by Josh Prince.

Shortly after, Kansas City furthered their lead, 6-1, in the top of the seventh with a single hit by Mars, allowing Brett to run home. And then, Ramsey Romano scored on a sacrifice fly by Nava.

Then Texas fought back, scoring in the bottom of the seventh with Stewart Ijames getting caught stealing second, but Jonathan Moroney came home on the play, making it 6-2.

In the ninth inning, Romano came home on a single hit by Nava, making the score for the T-Bones, 7-2.

Nick Lee worked a scoreless ninth inning as Texas just couldn’t catch up to Kansas City. Erik Manoah, (1-0), worked 6.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits to record his first win as a T-Bone. AirHogs starter Zech Lemond, (0-5), was charged with the loss, surrendering six runs, four earned, in six innings.
