Banana Ball was back at it with night two of action at Hodgetown! Reese Miller is a former West Texas A&M Buff, now heโs a part of the Texas Tailgaters. I had the chance to speak with him about his return to the 806.
Congrats to former ๐ฆฌ Reese Miller on being selected in the 3rd Round of the Banana Ball Draft by the Texas Tailgaters!

HEโS COMING.
Connor Sullivan, you have company. @Its_Reeese gets his 16th save of the season, now tied for the PBL lead with the @OaklandBallers closer.
Scoreless innings are common for @Its_Reeese, but the final out in the top of the ninth turned out to be Millerโs 100th professional strikeout.
The Boogeyman continues to collect milestones in the second half of the season ๐ฅ๐ฅ
For the first time ever, we got a SHINN WIN.
Nathan Shinn shined with a seven-inning performance to get his first win in his pro career.
Reese Miller gets save number 13, breaking the GJ Rockies/Jackalopes single-season saves record set by Robbie Baker in 2021.
Just before the "Walk"-Off, I was Live at Suplizio as @GJJackalopes closer and best arm in the @PBL1939 Reese Miller went 1-2-3 in the top of the 9th
Before that, I put a mic on Jacks 2nd baseman Spence Coffman
On Christmas in July night at Suplzio, Spence gave us a show โฌ๏ธ
Man, Reese Miller is dropping a 0.52 ERA on the Pioneer League over 34.1 innings. Just an unreal season. Crazier, he's posting a 0.47 ERA in 19 innings at home in GRAND FREAKING JUNCTION. That's 16 appearances trying to walk an ice cube through hell without it melting.

What. A. Game.
Jacks led 7-0
Idaho Falls roared back to lead it 10-9
But the @GJJackalopes stood tall
Two in the 6th to retake the lead
Then Rese Miller
Ice in his veins
Shuts the door
His ERA is still 0 this year
Jacks sweep the Chukars in the DH
