Hello All! Crazy to think the season is coming to an end this weekend at GCS Ballpark! The Grizzlies are getting set to begin a three-game series tonight with rival, River City. The Grizzlies are playing some of their best baseball this season, winners of four in a row, and fresh off a sweep of Florence. The Grizzlies have won four in a row for the first time since June 2-5 and the recept sweep was their first since June 3-5 @ home vs. Rockford. Tonight, Gateway looks to make it five in a row, which is something they haven't done all season! Below are some notes heading into action tonight against the Rascals:
*Joe Agreste is chasing down some Gateway records. Joe is currently six at-bats away from tying Charlie Lisk for most at-bats in a single-season (373 AB; 2010). Agreste has 108 hits, five away from Lisk's single-season record (113, 2010). Finally, if Joe plays all three games this weekend, he will have played in 94 games during the season, tying Greg Isaacson for first all-time (94).
*Charlie Lisk is six RBI away from tying Pete Pirman (Kalamazoo: 100 RBI in 2006) for most in a single-season in Frontier League history.
*Gateway looks for their first winning streak above four games in the 2011 season.
Pitching matchups this weekend:
Tonight: GWY RHP Brad Stone vs. RCY RHP Josh Lowey (2011 Frontier League Pitcher of the Year)
Saturday: GWY RHP Jordan Cudney (first professional start) vs. RCY RHP Zach Sterner

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
