Gavin Conticello's Got it Going in Amarillo
Gavin Conticello had quite the birthday week against the San Antonio Missions to add on to a hot start to the month of June. It started last week when Conticello, 22, helped the Sod Poodles escape making history by breaking up the Drillers no-hitter in the the seventh inning of a rain shortened game, grounding a 1-0 pitch for Amarillo's first hit of the month. Since then Conticello has slashed .333/.422/.513/.935 in the two series so far this month.
