That passion is exactly why we compiled our First Annual Sideline Sports Supreme Team, and we did it our way, with the same energy, excitement, and respect that West Texas baseball deserves.

Patience is a part of the process for former Sod Poodle Luis Patiño, and the road back from Tommy John surgery brought him back to a place where he once helped the team on their way to their first Texas League Championship.

After dropping the opener 3-1 to Northwest Arkansas on Monday, starter Logan Clayton and the pen blanked the Naturals in game two to draw even in the final series of the first half.

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.

Long time Sod Poodles fans saw a familiar face tonight on the mound, as Luis Patiño returned to Hodgetown for the first time since 2019, this time to face his old team. The Soddies came into Wednesday riding a season-high four game winning streak.

The Series opener against San Antonio was a standoff from the start. Starters Avery Short and Jagger Haynes weren’t perfect by any means most of the night but perfection isn’t necessary in a game like this.

The Amarillo Sod Poodles are back in action at Hodgetown this week against the Missions! Fresh off a 4-2 series victory in Tulsa and three straight victories on the weekend, the Soddies are up against a Missions team that they lead the season series against 5-4. Lets take a look at some hitters in the San Antonio batting order to keep an eye on this week with Diego Garcia, our friend from the East Village Times.

Amarillo put a great weekend together with timely hitting that they had been missing in the previous series, and a great showing from their bullpen.

Just one out away from being no-hit in the series opener on Tuesday, LuJames Groover, Avery Short, and the Sod Poodles had other ideas on Wednesday night.

After a dominant playoff run capped by a two-game sweep of Tom Bean in the State Semifinals, the Leopards (32-4-1) return to the 2A State Championship game with a chance to bring home the second state title in program history.

This week, the Hodgetown fans witnessed something rare probably without even realizing it. For the second time this season, Sod Poodles outfielder Kristian Robinson and Frisco Roughriders top prospect Sebastian Walcott faced off on the field, both representing the Bahamas.
