We are sad to announce that Miss Babe Ruth, the organization's beloved Labrador Retriever that served as bat dog for almost 10 seasons, passed away late Friday evening after a four-month battle with cancer. She was 12 years old.
🚨BREAKING🚨
We are pleased to announce a two year player development contract with the @Pirates that will run through the 2020 season.

Ladies and Gentlemen...Thomas Harrington
Harrington struck out eight batters in 7.0 scoreless innings in his second start since being promoted from Bradenton to be named @MiLB South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week.
We're still buzzing from last night's walk-off grand slam by @Nick_Gonzales13. Incredible game and the Hoppers never gave up after losing the lead midway through the game. We are now 1.5 games up on @HVRenegades for the 2nd spot in the playoffs.
