Ann Arbor Season Won't Continue in Playoffs
Friday, August 22nd , 2025
It's been a year to forget for the Ann Arbor Z's and the club has now been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention.

Ann Arbor last appeared in the postseason in 2019. This is their 6th consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 20 times in their 26-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Z's have only made the playoffs once. Ann Arbor last won the World Series in 2004.
Carachure Stops Dillonvale Cold, 10-0
Friday, August 22nd , 2025
The Dillonvale Indians had no answer for Palm Springs Heat pitcher Carlos Carachure. They failed to score a single run against him, losing, 10-0. Dillonvale managed only 6 hits off Carachure, who had 11 strikeouts.

The extraordinarily popular Carachure got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.

"Heat fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances, but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."

This season, Carachure has fashioned a 4-0 mark and 1.83 ERA in 44.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .171 against him and he has logged 45 strikeouts.

Thursday, August 21st , 2025
Isaiah Robinson kept the Dillonvale Indians hitters from doing much damage at Heat Ballpark.

Dillonvale could only muster 5 hits and draw 5 walks against the right-handed Robinson, who controlled them throughout the game. Palm Springs won the contest, 7-0. Robinson added 6 strikeouts in his complete-game effort.

"I don't know if I was on or if they were off today," Robinson told reporters after the shutout win. "But whatever it was, I hope it happens again next time."

This year, Robinson has worked 167.1 innings with 112 strikeouts en route to a 11-7 record and 3.23 ERA.
