“I’m not one to reflect during the season but my first instinct with this is that it tells me I’ve been around for a long time,” Massarelli said. “I don’t know how many losses I have, but I remember those more than the wins.

 

“More than anything right now, I’m glad for our guys that they’ve turned things around a little bit.”

 

With the win, the T-Bones have won seven in a row and are currently 37-42. With 21 regular-season games remaining in 2016, Massarelli is 134-144 with Kansas City. He is currently third on the Kansas City T-Bones/Duluth Dukes’ franchise record for managerial wins, behind Al Gallagher (217) and Andy McCauley (136).

 

Massarelli, who began his full-time managerial career in 2000 with Auburn, the Houston Astros’ short-season single-A team in the New York-Penn League, has a career managerial record of 850-680 in 14-plus seasons.
