A Full Week of Winning: Slammers' Streak Hits Seven

August 4, 2025 - JOLIET, IL - A lot of things have to go right for a team to win seven straight games. The pitching staff has to be on point every inning of every game, the offense has to string together consecutive hits on the regular, and the team has to find a way to win the close ones.

July 25, 2025 - JOLIET, IL - Down to his final strike, the lefty connected on a pitch with a swing so pure that you would think if you gave a toddler that same bat and swing path, they too could replicate his ensuing no doubter home run. With one swing, former Boston Red Sox second round draft pick Cole Brannen gave Gateway (40-21) a chance to force extra innings against Joliet (29-33), as the Grizzlies looked to stay perfect vs the Slammers this season.
