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. Every game on the Joliet Slammers (36-36) winning streak could be classified as a close one. Today's 3-1 win over the New Jersey Jackals (22-48) was no exception. The streak first started Tuesday in Gateway when the Slammers put together a three r... Full Story

For Swiftie Night against the New Jersey Jackals (22-46), the Slammers (34-36) broke out uniforms with a whimsical pink, orange, and b... Full Story

Extra Inning Rally Pushes Grizzlies Past Slammers

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. But in order to have the late game heroics, it took a lot to get to that point. T... Full Story
