Breaking News

Thursday, August 21st, 2036: Quincy Befuddled by Douglas
Ty Douglas was downright nasty in pitching a 5-0 shutout against Quincy. His splitter was diving, his slider was breaking and the Quinkies were swinging and looking bad. In the solid 3-hit shutout the Prisoners hurler chalked up 5 strikeouts and 1 walk in a strong outing.

"As the game went on, he got stronger," his manager said. "I thought he really turned it up a notch in the eighth and ninth and probably threw his best breaking balls in those two innings. They put a lot of balls in play early in the count because he was throwing strikes."

This year Douglas has compiled a 5-11 record with a 3.58 ERA.

Thursday, July 24th, 2036: Hamshanks Chill Nelson's Hot Streak
Zach Nelson's hit streak ended at 21 games today as the Grizzlies second baseman went 0-for-5 in a 12-4 loss to the Hamshanks.

"It's one of those things," Nelson said. "It just didn't happen. I guess it was my day not to get a hit."

Nelson is hitting .362 in 2034 with 1 home run, 35 RBIs and 52 runs scored. He has 113 hits in 312 at-bats and played in 73 games.

Sunday, July 6th, 2036: Viitaluoma Slams 5 Hits for Stevens Point
It was a big day with the bat for Unto Viitaluoma of the Stevens Point Troondonts at Troondonts Ballpark as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Andersonville 14-7.

To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today. 5 hits in 5 tries. But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."

At the end of the game Viitaluoma had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Troondonts had won.

The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.

U. Viitaluoma singled in the 1st, was hit by a pitch in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off K. Fowler in the 9th.

To date, Viitaluoma has collected 10 hits for a .435 average. He has posted 3 home runs, scored 5 runs and driven in 9 runs.
