Minor Details: Games of July 25
A bad first inning dooms the Red Wings. The Lookouts hold off a comeback attempt. The Miracle gets fine pitching in splitting a doubleheader. Sam Gibbons and two relievers produce a shutout for Cedar Rapids. Cody Stashak continues to pitch well for the E-Twins. The DSL Twins win a blowout.
Game 98: Yankees at Twins
Despite our preference, you can't win 'em all. However a win today takes home the series; a series win over the Yankees has a nice ring to it.

We're caught up!
A big day for James Beresford wasn't enough. Neither was a good day for Shannon Wilkerson. The Kernels lose by a touchdown. Still no offense for the E-Twins. The DSL Twins lose also. The best news is that two games got rained out.
Minor Details: Games of July 23
Another fine outing by Jose Berrios. D. J. Baxendale pitched even better but was not rewarded for it. A four-run seventh carries the Miracle. The Kernels win a close one. A ninth-inning rally wins it for the E-Twins. No offense for the GCL Twins. The DSL Twins take a high-scoring game.
