Minors: Sod Poodles headed to Texas League Championship Series

The first season of affiliated baseball’s return to Amarillo will be one to remember.

The Double-A Sod Poodles scored seven runs in the second inning and held on for a 7-5 win at Midland on Sunday afternoon, a third straight road victory to push their way into the Texas League Championship Series.

Shortstop Ivan Castillo provided the big blow, a three-run homer to pad the early lead provided by first baseman Kyle Overstreet’s three-run double.

Center fielder Taylor Trammell went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored.
