17 April 2297 - IL: Red-Hot Corsica Scorches Silver Shroud
Frank Corsica had an answer for everything the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud threw at him today at Hubris Comics Park. The Sunshine Tidings center fielder went 5-for-5 in the game to put his name in the record book and put the Chemists on top, 10-2.
Summing up his batting philosophy to BNN writers after the game, Corsica said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."
Frank Corsica singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run triple in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.

Other Scores:
Concord 5 at Starlight 13
The Radstags are still seeking a victory after two frustrating weekends. They ended up with almost as many errors (5) as runs (8) in the series at Starlight Drive-in. Willie Qesadena got the game MVP nod, going 2 for 4 with two home runs, two runs, and three RBI.
Abernathy 0 at Lexington 2
The Synths complete their second straight sweep in another low-scoring contest. Chris Morgen pitched 8.0 innings of shutout ball, allowing five hits, walking three, and striking out eight. Adam Bias got save number five.
17 April 2297 - ML: Nukacola Powers Deathclaws Offense
Aaron Nukacola, not to be confused with Quincy star Andrew Nuka, left his imprint on the 9-6 University Point win against the Atom Cats. Nukacola went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Atom falls to 1-5.
University Point took a 8-6 lead on Jason Harris's 3rd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Harris hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Atom pitcher Bob Parkman visibly frustrated.
"We got the victory," said Nukacola. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
Other Scores:
Goodneighbor 6 at Warwick 5
The Hancocks won their second straight over defending ML champs, the Mirelurks. Good Don Duck led the way, going 2 for 4 with a home run, a walk, two runs, and two RBI. Warwick's Brad Krol was 2 for 3 with two home runs, two walks, two runs, and two RBI.

17 April 2297 - RL: T-51s Sweep Yao Guai, 11-3
Oberland picked up a win at Graygarden Park, bumping off the Fairline Hill Estates Yao Guai, 11-3. Pitcher Gerald Jerry was a major reason the T-51s emerged victorious. The loss has the Yao Guai at 2-4.
Jim Pickman was a prime factor in the win for the T-51s. In the bottom of the fourth with two out, the 18-year old catcher hit a 2-run single. He went 2 for 4 with 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once.
"Win or lose, we always try to grind it out and stay even-keeled," Pickman said in reaction to the win.
Other Scores:
Diamond City 2 at Shaw 6
Scaredy Cat Talbott pitched only 6.0 innings, but he pitched well enough to earn the victory, his first and the Knuckle Punchers' third. Talbott allowed just two earned runs on six hits with five walks and two strikeouts. Grognak Inman hit his fourth home run of the young season.
Egret 10 at Vault 81 2
Crops Gerdenheimer was 4 for 4 with a double, a home run, a walk, two runs, and two RBI. Ronnie Gipper, acquired from Oberland in a December trade, got his first win with the Scrappers, allowing two earned runs on seven hits with a walk and two strikeouts in 8.0 innings.
