Newcomer Patrick Wicklander dazzled in his Range Riders debut before things fell apart in the eighth inning and the Missoula PaddleHeads won 7-1 on Tuesday.
In the Range Riders’ first game back home, Wicklander looked comfortable pitching at Glacier Bank Park for the first time. He pitched seven innings and struck out 10 against the best hitting team in the Pioneer League.
Released from the AA Montgomery Biscuits, Wicklander had his agent contact the Range Riders’ bullpen coach. He was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2021 MLB Draft out of Arkansas University and has made it as high as Triple-A.
