| No-Hit Masterpiece by Morrill Friday, April 28th , 2045 Mike Morrill was untouchable at Hyde Fields, displaying a good fastball and wicked breaking balls in his 2-0 win against the Hyde Bombers. The Keo hurler did not allow a single hit, fanning 8 while walking 7.
"This is great," Morrill told reporters after the game. "Every pitcher wants a no-hitter. I just wanted the win, but the no-hitter is a little extra icing on the victory cake." | | Pluff Belts 3 HR Against Castile Thursday, April 27th , 2045 Indian Point Atoms bombardier Nick Pluff set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club beat the Castile Gunslingers, 8-5.
"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Pluff told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."
For the game, the Indian Point second baseman had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 7, and scored 3 runs.
Nick Pluff hit a two-run home run off Mike Rhoads in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Mike Rhoads in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, walked in the 8th, walked in the 10th, struck out in the 12th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Pedro Ramirez in the 14th.
This year, Pluff has socked 11 hits in 29 at-bats for a .379 average with 8 home runs. He is getting on base at a .438 pace and his totals also include 14 RBIs and 9 runs scored. | | Weekly Team Power Rankings Monday, April 24th , 2045 Here are the current team power rankings for FBL Class A:
