MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - After dazzling hometown fans in their Marysville debut, the Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers hit the highway for a 13-game trek that produced dramatic wins, growth-moment losses and a headline-grabbing call-up.

They opened in Ogden with back-to-back victories over the Raptors (14–10 on May 27, 11–6 on May 28), stumbled briefly, but closed strong with a 9–8 win (May 31) and a 10–5 clincher (June 1).

Colorado Springs brought more late-inning drama. The High Wheelers dropped the first two to the Rocky Mountain Vibes (9–8 and 11–10 on June 3–4), but responded with a 9–8 knockout-round win on June 5, regrouped after losses on June 6 and 7, then closed the series with a 13–6 win on June 8.

Back at Bryant Field, the team swept the Glacier Range Riders in a thrilling three-game set: a 7–6 knockout win on June 10, a 3–2 knockout win on June 11, and a tight 2–1 victory on June 12, powered by two solo home runs from slugger Gio Brusa.

They stayed hot heading into the weekend. On Friday, June 13, the High Wheelers outpaced the Northern Colorado Owlz 13–9 in a lively slugfest. Saturday’s momentum slipped away in an 8–3 loss, and Sunday’s Father’s Day matchup came down to the wire, ultimately ending in a tough 11–10 knockout round defeat.

Off the field, right-hander Brandon McPherson had his contract purchased by the Houston Astros after going 2–0 with a 2.38 ERA (earned run average) and 16 strikeouts in two starts, marking the club’s first MLB move of the season. The roster also welcomed switch-hitting infielder Connor Denning, fresh off two seasons with the Billings Mustangs.

Fans can now enjoy Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm favorites, like corn dogs and slushies, at “Ballpark Bites,” a new concession stand down the left-field line, launched June 10 as part of a new local partnership.
