April 1921 (Part Three)

April 24, 1921
Polar Bear catcher Cary Tait is going to relive the moment for a long time to come.

It was the bottom of the 9th, and the game was tied up. Turtle SS Scott Welch was on second, and C Valentin Folgan was on first. Up to hit was 3B Nathan Harrod. Back in the top of the 9th, a 400ft home run from 1B Richard Maxwell was all that kept the Polar Bears in the hunt.

Polar Bear Pitcher Karson McBride sent his pitch and Welch made his run to steal third. Tait, grabbed the pitch and tried to cut Welch off but the ball went over the head of the third basemen. After a moment on the ground, Welch figured out what was happening and dashed home for a walk-off throwing error.

Polar Bear pitcher Tony Coles has set a new record for strikeouts in a single game with 18 in his side's 6-3 win over the Dustland Sharks.



April 28, 1921
The Sharks-Bear series took another twist and turn today as suspensions were laid down for Dustland's Jaxon Darnall and Northland's Jon after they incited a bench-clearing brawl. Jackson, hit by a pitch advanced to the mound and chaos ensued.



This is where the standings sit at the end of April.



The Dustland Sharks have established a big lead in the West. Over in the East, the Spice District Roosters and Sugar Factory Elephants are tied with a decent lead over the rest. The Dolphins had a nice start, 14-8 at one point but now sit at 14-17.
