Sod Poodles Welcome Double-A Affiliate of the Seattle Mariners - Arkansas Travelers

June 24, 2025 - Texas League (TL)
Amarillo Sod Poodles News Release


AMARILLO, TX - With the first half in the books, the Amarillo Sod Poodles return home to start the second half, hosting the Arkansas Travelers (Double-A, Seattle Mariners) for six games. The Soddies took five of six from the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (Double-A, Kansas City Royals) and are currently riding a five-game win streak going into Tuesday's ballgame. Amarillo's starters tossed at least six innings in each game last week, highlighted by Logan Clayton's seven shutout frames on Wednesday in his career-best Double-A start. Offensively, the lineup is in a rhythm, tallying double-digit hit totals and multiple homers in three straight games.

On the field this week, Sod Poodles fans can expect to see Arizona Diamondbacks third-ranked prospect (MLB Pipeline), Ryan Waldschmidt take the field. An outfielder drafted 31st overall from the University of Kentucky in 2024, he ranks as the no. 93 prospect in all of baseball. Other top prospect talent will be on display as Lazaro Montes (no. 2 SEA, no. 32 MLB) and Edwin Arroyo (no. 7 SEA, no. 77 MLB) will take the field for the Travelers.

Fans have plenty to look forward to this week, kicking things off with the Pointy Boots de Amarillo identity and Taco Tuesday. The Yellow City Pigweeds take the field on Wednesday along with $2 hot dogs across the ballpark. Catcher Christian Cerda is the face of Thirsty Thursday's prospect pennant giveaway before we start the weekend on Friday with a fireworks show set to 1980s hits. Saturday night is Luau Night at HODGETOWN with a Hawaiian shirt giveaway, a jersey auction, and fireworks to cap off the evening. The homestand concludes on Sunday with a duffel bag giveaway to the first 1,500 fans to enter the ballpark.

All single-game tickets for this homestand along with the rest of the 2025 regular season are on sale at the HODGETOWN Box Office or online at www.sodpoodles.com/tickets.
