Rookie Ogden

The Owlz (Angels) scored one run for each hit they had and that was a very bad thing on Monday night as the Owlz had 21 hits that resulted in a 21-2 drubbing over the Raptors. To add insult to injury, the final 16 Raptor batters were retired in order. The only good thing was that the Raptors were playing on the road so the Owlz couldn't score anymore runs.

Six pitchers and one position player (Yensys Capellan) pitched on Monday. Capellan has now hit one more home run than he has given up as a pitcher.

Nick Sell made his Pioneer League debut for the Raptors and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
