GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Brooklyn @ Chicago
The top two teams in the KML start a set in Chicago. A two run home run by Bryan Reynolds in the fifth and a five hit shutout by Brooklyn pitching leads the Kraken to the opening game 2-0 victory and tie two teams atop the conference.

Ankeny @ Roxbury
Juan Soto clubs two homers and Mookie Betts, Luke Raley, and Kiebert Ruiz each pitch in with a homer of their own and the ACL's pound Roxbury for the 15-7 game one win.

Mother Lode @ Arizona
Chris Bassitt pitches a seven hit, complete game shutout and Rafael Devers and Sean Murphy homer and drive in three runs apiece to lead the Argos to the 6-0 win.

Scurvy @ Great
A shootout in Great! Bob, Rod . . . either of you want to pitch in with a synopsis of the wild ride?

Motor City @ Windy City
The City's hook up for their first series of the year, and delight the fans with a shootout of their own. The Madmen stake the home team Rattlers to a sizeable lead entering the middle innings. Then . . . Cody Bellinger arrives! A grand slam in the sixth brings Motor City all the way back from their five run deficit and two innings later the lefty swinging first baseman rips a three run job to put the game away.

Ann Arbor @ Santa Ana
Another offensive shootout in Santa Ana. The Wolves run out to a 7-0 lead after two. Brayan Bello tries to give it all back, surrendering a six spot to the Landlubbers in the fourth. But that's all he gives up and Santa Ana tacks on another seven runs to coast to the 14-6 win. Nolan Jones and Mike Trout of the Wolves: one of them is hitting .396 with 7 homers and 15 RBI; the other is hitting .164, just hit is first homer and has just 8 RBI. Who is hot and who is cold? Take a look...

Bako @ Everest
The desert vs. 29,032 feet. With a stop at Cabella's for parkas, mittens and snow boots, the Bums hike to the summit. Marcus Stroman is seemingly unaffected, pitching six shutout innings to lower his ERA to 0.35. Adolis Garcia goes 4-5 with two homers, four runs, and four RBI and the desert prevails in game one.

Game one of the Dogs - Auk series was a slugfest. Dogs hit 5 HRs and one double with the Auk hitting 2 HRs and 5 doubles. Starting pitcher Chris Sale for the Dogs gave up 13 base runners in his 4.1 innings pitched giving up 12 runs with 8 of them earned. Dogs bullpen gave up nothing after that. Auk SP Scherzer had a typical out for him this season. 5.1 innings with 8 base runners and 6 earned runs. Dude doesn't want to pitch this year (like most of the Auk starters)

After a 12-3 lead the Auk hung on to win 12-9

The Auk proceeded to lose two one run games to the Dogs in the rest of the series and then drop the opener to the Bums in a one run loss as well. Not how to catch the teams ahead of you. Auk has a 4-7 record in one run games. Tough to take as I think I have one of the top 3 bullpens in the Mutiny League.
