This Monday morning, we'd like to remember one of our own, Kevin Yarabinec. Kevin, the standout closer from the 2016 team, lost his life in a car accident this past weekend. Our sincere condolences go out to the Yarabinec family. We love you, Yarbs.
Welp... That one isn't coming back!
Cue pandemonium time at ISG Field, the
#MoonDogs
are once again walk-off winners for the fifth time this season and now ride a 13-1 record at home!
