GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Thunder @ Yetis
JP France outduels Zach Wheeler, completing seven 3-hit shutout innings in his best start of the season.  Freddie Freeman doubles home Jonathan India in the third inning in the Everest 1-0 home victory.

Bums @ Koi
Framber Vadez goes the distance for Bako, striking out 11 in eight innings.  Bryce Elder and a pair of relievers out do that though, surrendering just five hits and two runs as Arizona knocks off Bako, 3-2.  In a bit of eccentricity, the Koi manage their three runs without recording a single RBI, thanks to an error and a pair of run scoring double play grounders.

Brewers @ Auk
The starting pitching is still shaky in Great.  Freddy Peralta manages to complete six, striking out eight and surrendering only four hits.  But he also allows five runs to the Brewers.  The offense rescues Peralta from the firing line, launching four home runs and crossing the dish ten times to send Great to the 10-5 win.

Madmen @ Rougarou
A night after 15 hits and 10 runs, Motor City ups the ante in Lakeview.  The offense tallies 16 hits and 12 runs in the rubber game of the set, winning the series with a resounding 12-3 win.

Hammers @ Sea Wolves
Santa Ana rides Kyle Bradish's strong start and some timely hitting in the middle innings to win their fifth in a row, 5-0 over Hawaiian Gardens.  Coupled with Chicago's continued slide and Brooklyn's fifth straight loss, the Sea Wolves have tied up the top of the KML.

In other news ........ new Auk manager Bruno "Skippy" Dumbrowski enjoys his first victory at the helm of the team.    The real test is tomorrow to see if he can motivate a starting pitcher not named Verlander to throw the ball with any effectiveness.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Kraken @ Rattlers
Colin Rea and Felix Bautista 2-hit Brooklyn and the only run comes on an RBI double off the bat of JD Davis in the fourth.  Windy City prolongs Brooklyn's losing streak with a 1-0 victory.

Argos @ Sweets
A tough season to date for Trea Turner is made a little sweeter as he walks off Mother Lode with his fifth homer, leading off the ninth.

Madmen @ Rougarou
Motor City scores early and often, led by Cody Bellinger's four hit night.  Bellinger doubles and homers twice, driving in three runs to pace a 15 hit, 10 run attack.  Lakeview raps out ten hits of their own, but the can't string them together well, producing only a single run (a solo homer) as they suffer the 10-1 loss.

Bums @ Koi
The first team to 20 wins, Bako follows ace Gerrit Cole's seven strong innings to the 4-3 win.  Shea Langeliers continues to lead the offense (who'da ever thunk THAT would be an actual sentence...) with his 8th home run and two RBI.

Dogs @ Miners
#cantbeatmeonPeloton #cantbeatanyonerightnow... Phoenix sends Sonny Gray to an early shower with seven runs in two innings.  Aaron Nola fares much better for the home team, coming within one out of a 4-hit shutout.  A walk, double and RBI single ends his night after 8.2 superb innings and Jakob Junis ends the "threat", inducing a routine groundout to shortstop.  The surging Miners take the home win, 8-1.

Thunder @ Yetis
On the heels of #cantbeatanyonerightnow's skid, archrival #donttradewithKyle has picked up their play.  Winners of three straight and seven of their last ten, the Thunder have pulled even with the Dogs after doubling up Everest, 4-2.  Spencer Strider (2 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 12 K) goes only five, but collects the win.

Captain's Quarters / The Great Auk fires manager today
Last post by Bob Miller -
In a press release today the Great Auk's owner/GM fired the field manager effective immediately.   Also in the release the owner threatened certain pitchers with a "fate worse than extinction" if they don't start pitching up to expectations.  Starting pitchers: Max Scherzer 8.39 ERA,  "Drop Dead" Fred Peralta 5.37 ERA,  Seth Lugo 6.97 ERA and Aaron Civale 5.40 ERA were all singled out by the owner.       

"This team was built to win in 2024 and this tomfoolery by the pitching staff WILL Not continue"    A beer vendor from the upper deck was chosen to manage the team for the remainder of the season.   "He can't do any *#@&ing worse" bellowed the owner. 

When asked about the performance of closer Jeff Hoffman 12.46 ERA 0-2 with two blown saves including yesterday's 3 run blown save the owner's face turned purple and then he suffered what appears to be an apparent heart attack and had to be taken away in an ambulance.    The press conference ended at that point.
