for Kansas City with a strike out of Gary’s Jose Gonzalez in the top of the 8th

inning to notch the teams strike out number 782. Sides also struck out Chris

Grayson in the 8th inning on August 9th to tie to franchise single season strike

out total at 682 set in 2012. An inning later in the bottom of the ninth Cody

Meet the “Man on the top step”

On November 30, 2016, Joe Calfapietra was named the T-Bones sixth manager

in the club’s history. Calfapietra (pronounced Cal-fa-pee-eh-tra), 46, brings City

an overall record of 848-740 to Kansas City in 17 seasons as a manager, all at

the independent level. He spent the past 14 seasons as the manager of the New

Jersey Jackals of the Can-Am League. Only four of those 14 teams did not reach

the postseason. The Jackals won the league championship in 2004, at the end of

Calfapietra’s second season in New Jersey, and then his teams reached the

league championship series in five consecutive seasons, 2011-15. In 2016, the

Jackals went 62-38, before losing in the first round of the Can-Am playoffs.

The T-Bones and Calfapietra’s Jackals faced each other seven times in

interleague play since 2012, with New Jersey winning four of those games.

Calfapietra started his coaching career in 1994 in this organization, when the T-

Bones were in Duluth, Minn., and were known as the Dukes. In 2002,

Calfapietra was the first-ever manager of the Gary SouthShore RailCats, where

he was the league manager of the year, before starting with New Jersey the following season. Calfapietra lives

in Collegeville, Pa., with his wife and their two daughters, ages 17 and 11. Calfapietra is the T-Bones’ sixth

manager since the team moved from Duluth prior to the 2003 season. He replaces John Massarelli, who went

139-160 in three seasons with Kansas City, including 42-58 in 2016.

Did you know? T-Bones Manager Joe Calfapietra was the first manager of the Gary SouthShore RailCats in 2002, going 35-55,

a feat that may seem not too monumental at first glance. Yet, when you consider the team played their entire

schedule on the road due to construction delays with their home ballpark, the numbers are impressive. For his

efforts, he was named Manager of the Year.

T-Bones 5 Gary 2

DeVore, Richar lead T-Bones to Split GARY, Ind. – Behind the pitching of Kyle DeVore and a perfect game at the plate by Danny Richar, Kansas City beat Gary

SouthShore in game two Friday night, 5-2, and split the doubleheader at the U.S. Steel Yard.

Kansas City got started early with three first-inning runs off Gary starting pitcher Nick McCully (1-2). Bryan Sabatella started the

scoring with a two-out bases-loaded walk that scored Danny Richar from third. Robby Kuzdale connected on a two-run single to

right, driving in Ray Sadler and Nick Schwaner and giving Kansas City a 3-0 lead.

The T-Bones added to their lead in the second inning when Richar connected with his sixth home run of the season, and gave

Kansas City an early 4-0 lead. Richar finished the game a triple shy of the cycle, on a 3-for-3 night with a double and a homer.

Kansas City starting pitcher Kyle DeVore (4-6) gave the T-Bones exactly what they needed as he went 6 innings and allowed two

runs on five hits to go along with six strikeouts and one walk. Trailing 4-0, in the bottom of the second the RailCats finally scratched

across a run against DeVore, when Ryan Brockett was able to get an RBI single past the infield that scored Drew Muren from

second and brought Gary within 4-1.

Kris Regas (19) picked up the save with a perfect seventh-inning frame.

In the first game, which was a makeup of Thursday’s rainout, the T-Bones committed four errors that led to five unearned runs as

Gary SouthShore scored in every inning except the first and beat the T-Bones 11-4.

Six days after throwing a complete game in a win over the RailCats, starting pitcher Casey Barnes (3-5) gave up seven runs in his 3

1/3 innings, but only two were earned. The T-Bones biggest offensive presence came in the fifth inning when Matt Padgett

connected on a three-run home run, his fifth homer of the season, that brought Kansas City back to within 7-4.
