The Confidence Man Minute with Travis Miles

This is a transcript from Travis Miles’ post-game sign off of Game Three of the DCR Series of the Week.

Good afternoon, listeners from the Commonwealth. We came into this weekend's series with the Quincy Gunners needing a sweep to have a chance at the post season. Well, guess what?

With today's thrilling 11-10 victory, the Gunners completed the sweep over the visiting Atom Cats, making both teams tied for second place in the Minutemen League at 31-29. That means these two teams will play bonus baseball tomorrow afternoon. One game, winner to the playoffs. Loser to spend the long fall and winter period at home farming or doing whatever they need to do to make caps.

This is Travis Miles with Diamond City Radio. You are listening to "The Confidence Man Minute." Today we wrap up our last series of the 2296 season, though we are going to broadcast tomorrow's game, so I am going nowhere on Sunday, and hopefully, so are you, Commonwealth.

Let's look at the standout performances from each of the three games. In Game One, the Gunners won 7-4 thanks to a four-run eighth inning. Gunners shortstop Robbie Adams received player of the game in that one. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, scored twice, and drove in three runs. His 8th-inning, two-RBI single gave the Gunners the lead for good in that one, going up 5-4 at the time.

In Game Two, Quincy scored the first six runs on the way to a 6 to 2 victory. Pitcher Manny McDuff got the victory and MVP honors. In a complete-game win, he pushed his record to 7-8 on the season. He allowed two earned runs on eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts. He also doubled and scored in the game.

Today's best player was Quincy star Ben Pettinato. Remember when he was hitting below .100? I do! But not anymore. Today he went 3 for 5 to finish with a .389 batting average on the season. He doubled and homered, scored three times, drove in three, and walked once.

Like I said, we will be broadcasting tomorrow. After the game, we will analyze the playoff matchups. As I understand it, there is also the chance for a play-in game in the Brotherhood League, too, so we will do our best to see who the eight teams are and break down the first-ever CBO playoffs where teams are going to play interleague games that count! Who will win the Sole Survivor Series? It looks like Oberland and Warwick have the advantage with the best records in the CBO, but we shall see.

Anyway, thanks for listening to this edition of "The Confidence Man Minute with Travis Miles." Remember to tune in tomorrow to DC Radio at 3:00 PM when we start our one-hour pregame show and then start first pitch at 4:05 PM. Until then, hope you can enjoy some happening tunes.
