Weber's 4-Hit Night helps the Pointy Boots Find the Launch Pad Against San Antonio
The Sod Poodles got their swagger back to take the series opener at Hodgetown. Dylan Ray once again shined despite the box score. Ray tossed a great outing outside of one bad inning in the 2nd that saw 9-Hole hitter Fransisco Acuna punish the Sod Poodles right hander for allowing a pair of walks and a single by tanking an 0-2 pitch out of the yard for a Grand Slam to give San Antonio a 4-0 lead early.

Soddies by Morning: Giestings Great Stuff and Conticello’s Big Blast Help Amarillo Enter the Win Column
The opening series is in the books for 2025 and the Sod Poodles are heading home with their first victory. Starter Spencer Giesting tossed a terrific 5 shutout innings on 79 pitches (51 strikes), and looked like he did towards the end of 2024. The left handed pitcher drafted out of Charlotte in 2022, struck out 5 and didn’t walk any of the 18 batters he faced en route to picking up his first victory of the year. Giesting attacked the zone early and it paid off on Sunday. The Sod Poodles had to
