April 9, 1920
Penguin Pitcher Fred Alltop was left devastated after throwing 12 shutout innings against the Elephants. The Penguin hitters completely failed to fire. Alltop threw 165 pitches and gave up just 4 hits and 6 walks before being pulled with the score still 0-0. The Penguins gave up the winning run a couple of innings later.
Alltop had thrown 8.1 shutout innings in the previous game as well. Throw in an extra inning from the game before than that and he's suddenly gone 21.1 innings without conceding a run.
The Crimson Forest Falcons after starting the season 0-9, have a win! They beat the equally hapless Metros (2-8 after this game) to break their losing streak to start the season.
Finally today. Just look at this WPA graph fall.
Beautiful. The Roosters thought they had in the bag when they got the go-ahead run at the top of the 9th but they didn't account for big hitting pinch hitter Emmett Miles who slammed the first pitch he saw for 405ft and the win. That's the fourth walk-off win the Turtles have had so far this season, in only ten games.

Absolute destruction. The Unicorns were helpless against Whiskeytown pitcher Lenny Russell who threw 9 innings of one-hit, one-walk shutout ball. The no-hitter only broken up in the 8th.

The Hadestown Broncos have started the season off 4-7, and any hopes of turning that around just got a bit more remote. Their star pitcher Dalton Deschenes is out for the next four months. He left his last game early after pitching 5 shutout innings. The Broncos got the win there and Deschenes won player of the game.

Last time we saw Jared Way, he was getting walked off by Emmett Miles. The Unicorn Point Athletic Club paid the price in his next start as he racked up 15 strikeouts enroute to a 2-1 win for the Roosters.
