7 April 2296 - McBride Mauled by Radscorpion
Just one day before the 2297 season begins, Starlight will be without its starting third baseman Hubris McBride for a while.
After the team's caravan traveled near the West Bank of the Charles River just west of Graygarden, heading to Fort Hagen for their Institute League season opener, a group of radscorpions jumped the group.
Through the chaos of the situation, McBride took a direct stinger to the abdomen. The radscorpion stalker, a stronger version than the standard radscorpion had McBride in its pinchers when it was dispatched by security firearms.
While the team stopped to rest and cook up some radscorpion steaks to replenish their energy. McBride was treated with meds and chems on-hand and then turned back east of the river towards Kendall Hospital.
McBride, who has been rated as the best third baseman in the Institute League, will miss this weekend and possibly the first month of the season while he recovers from the radscorpion's poison.
