The Colorado Springs Sky Sox season has come to an end, with the team posting an underwhelming 62-81 record. Infielder Luis Sardiñas and catcher Nevin Ashley were added to the Big League club after the Sox closed up shop for the season.

Another significant hindrance was the Sky Sox’s home field, which is one of the least pitcher-friendly parks in the nation.
