Omaha bats leave Redbirds feeling blue
Derrick Robinson had three of Omaha’s 18 hits — and two went out of the ballpark — to lead the Storm Chasers past Memphis 12-4 Saturday night.

Storm Chasers win 10th straight at home
The parent club in Kansas City just lost a 10th straight home game, but the Omaha Storm Chasers are moving in an opposite direction while continuing perhaps the best start in franchise history. The Storm Chasers picked up their 10th straight home win Tuesday, rallying for a 5-3 win over Nashville to sweep a four-game series before 4,717 at Werner Park.

Chasers cruise past Nashville
Including his first two at-bats Monday, Johnny Giavotella was 2 for 11 in the series with Nashville. But the way he'd been swinging, he could have easily had six hits. “That's why they're out there playing defense, to try to take hits away from you,” Giavotella said. So the scrappy Omaha second baseman put it where no one could catch it, launching his third home run onto the berm in left center field.

Chasers win in 13 innings
Jarrod Dyson lined a single through Nashville's five-infielder alignment — six including the pitcher Erick Almonte, an infielder pressed into mound duty — as Omaha earned a 6-5, 13-inning victory Saturday night. The Sounds' pitching staff was strapped because of major-league promotions by Milwaukee, and Almonte — whose professional pitching resume included one inning in rookie ball in 1999 — took the mound to start the 13th.

Two-seamer lets Adcock get a grip on career
The California League, which is anything but a pitcher's league anyway, hadn't been kind to Nate Adcock. The right-hander spent parts of two seasons there, compiling a 6-10 record with a 5.83 ERA in 26 appearances, all but two of them starts.
