HotN:
Some more blowouts tonight, highlighted by the Asterisks putting a whooping on the Rum Runners 21-3.
Aoki = 4-5, 3 runs, 4 RBI (HR short of a cycle)
Zobrist = 3-6, 2 runs, 5 RBI (triple short of a cycle)
Segura = 4-7, 1 run, 1 RBI (triple short of a cycle)
Pham = 4-5, 3 runs, 5 RBI, 2 HR (triple short of a cycle)

Honorable Mention #1:
The Devils are trying to make a late playoff push as they beat up on the Sweets 12-0 and the Madmen 18-1. They are too far behind the Sweets for a Wild Card spot, but could they string together some more wins and challenge the slumping Rattlers or Nomads for the Turner crown? Only time will tell...

Honorable Mention #2:
Fluky stat of the night.
In real life, Nick Ahmed "batted" .218/.265/.299 (are we sure he wasn't using the wrong end of the bat or something? Sheesh). In the sim, the Dogs have been using him as a defensive replacement since he has an EX/102 rating at SS. So while he has appeared in 52 games, he's only batted 3 times. All three have gone for hits however so he has a perfect 1.000/1.000/1.000 batting line. Can he finish the season perfect at the plate? I don't think I've ever seen that before...
