Whiskeytown Catcher Joel De Vries is have a cracker start to the season. Over 16 games this season, he's registered a hit in each. Including two home runs in this extra innings win over the Spice District Roosters. They were certainly timely home runs, coming in the 8th and 11th innings to get the Ducks over the line.

This top of the table Ducks-Rooster series produces another banger. The Roosters went into the bottom of the 9th down 4-1 but they kept on chipping away at the pitcher. Until finally, with 2 outs on the board and the bases loaded. LF Odin Bendig hit a emphatic line drive to clear the bases and get the win for the Roosters. Unfortunately this game spelled an end to Joel de Vrie's hit streak which stands at 14 games.

Word has it, that Liam Schmitt provoked the fight by just repeating back Jody's Stephenson's statistics. "He boasts an OBP of .188" Ouch.
Standings at the end of April 22, 1920. There's a three way tie in the East Division and the Saffron Turtles continue to hold on to their narrow lead in the West. The Turtles are 5-0 at the moment in extra-innings games.
