\"\"<\/a>Update…<\/p>\n

Jamestown (uj.edu)\u00a0 Former University of Jamestown catcher Quinn Irey\u2019s time with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks lasted until June 30, when the club released him following the return of catcher Charlie Valerio from the disabled list. Irey hit .182 in 11 at-bats with a stolen base over six games.<\/p>\n

The RedHawks signed Irey on June 16, and the Bismarck native made his debut later that evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (the RedHawks) did not mention they would bring me back when I was released,\u201d said Irey, \u201cbut they did mention they would stay in touch and keep tabs on me to see if I would go anywhere else this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Irey did not stay unemployed long. A rash of injuries left the Cleburne Railroaders without a healthy catcher, and on July 1 the Texas club, also of the American Association, signed Irey and immediately inserted him in the lineup as the everyday backstop.<\/p>\n

Irey caught all 14 innings of Cleburne\u2019s 4-3 win over Chicago on July 15, and after the game, found out he was heading back to the RedHawks in a trade for a player to be named. The Railroaders handed him his flight itinerary and he left for Dallas-Fort Worth airport the next morning.<\/p>\n

Back in Fargo, Irey continues to learn the ins and outs of the catching position from assistant coach Chris Coste, whose 12 years of professional baseball included a World Series championship with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008.<\/p>\n
