Squirrels need to make it count
The Squirrels made their playoff case by going 4-2 last week against two solid ball clubs; however, with last night’s loss, Richmond fell back to two games behind Bowie for the wild card.

Q&A with Flying Squirrels broadcaster Anthony Oppermann
Anthony Oppermann is one half of the broadcasting team of the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Oppermann handles pre- and post- game duties as well as in-game broadcast for home contests. He can also be heard on SportsRadio 910 talking Squirrels baseball with Wes McIlroy.
Squirrels’ season starting to slip
It might be too early to say this, but it seems like Richmond is letting their season slip away from them. Richmond is now 3.5 games out of 1st place and 2.5 games out of a playoff spot. There are only about 20 games left. So while they still have time to make something happen, they better do it soon.
Squirrels coming off a rough week
Last week was one big missed opportunity for Richmond. They were swept by New Hampshire before taking two out of three from Portland. When the dust settled, Richmond found themselves back in third place and 1.5 games out of first place.
The Squirrels are still flying high
Your Flying Squirrels are half a game out of first place! With an upcoming six game home stretch, first place is in sight!
The Flying Squirrels, first place is oh, so close!
With nine games in seven days a team hopes to just survive. Going 7-2 during that stretch is a damn near miracle. That’s what the Squirrels accomplished.
UPDATE: Baseball prodigy Bryce Harper to play in Richmond
One of the game’s most exciting prospects will play at the Diamond this weekend. The overall first pick of the 2010 draft is a new outfielder for the AA Harrisburg Senators, who begin a weekend series with the Squirrels on Friday night. On why Richmonders should watch the teenage phenom.
Busy weekend at the Diamond could be great for the Flying Squirrels
The Squirrels are inching closer to the 2nd place Bowie, helped by a strong showing from an All-Star. This will come in handy with phenom Bryce Harper coming to town this week (for real this time).
Q&A with Squirrels pitching coach Ross Grimsley
The Squirrels’ pitching coach, Ross Grimsley, is a former 20 game winner in the Majors where he participated in three postseasons and one All Star Game — plus he was a very colorful player back in the day.
Flying Squirrel lose momentum, maintain standing
All that momentum that the Flying Squirrels had last week hit a screeching halt, as they went 2-4 and are on a three game losing streak. Still thanks to the Senators, the Squirrels didn’t lose much ground in the standings.
