29 May 2298 - Adamantium Roll to 10-3 Win Over Silver Shroud
The Abernathy Adamantium picked up a win at Tato Field, taking down the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud, 10-3. Starting pitcher Kyle Clevinger was a big reason why. Abernathy raised its record to 24-16 with the win.
With the series win, the Adamantium now have a three-game lead on the Silver Shroud in the Institute League.
With no one out in the bottom of the first, Po Greenzone barreled up a fastball from Derek Green. The result was a 3-run home run, putting the Adamantium in front, 4-0.
"We did a lot of things right," said Greenzone.
29 May 2298 - Party Boys Rally to Eke Out 10-inning Win
Nordhagen Beach Party Boys starter Casey Diehl pitched a strong game against the The Slog Ghouls at Slocum's Joe Seaside Stadium, leading the Party Boys to victory, 5-4. Nordhagen Beach pitcher Sia Abber got the win. He's now 1-1. Wonder Boy Fultz was tagged with the loss. The win elevated the Party Boys to 26-14.
The Party Boys relied on second baseman Brian Masterson for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the tenth, he delivered, hitting a run-scoring single to seal the deal.
"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," The Slog manager Mack O'Shea said following the tough loss.
Nordhagen Beach trailed 2-0 entering the bottom of the eighth. Tyler Storts was pitching a shutout, but started the eighth cold, walking Ryan Combs and then giving back-to-back singles to Dustin Mart and Tomas Jones to make it 2-1. Michael Fogcrawler then hit a first-pitch, three-run bomb to give Nordhagen Beach a 4-2 lead.
Unfortunately, the Party Boys could not hold the lead. Night Demon Archaki came on in the ninth to try for his 10th save of the season. However, he gave up back-to-back singles and then an RBI double to C.T. Woodard to cut the lead to 4-3. After intentionally walking Nick Homebody with one out, Archaki then walked Tony Edgewater to tie the game, 4-4. He blew his second save of the season, but was able to escape the inning with no further damage.
29 May 2298 - Knuckle Punchers Slip Past Egret, 10-9
Atomatoys Stadium at Roxbury was host to some action-packed drama.
The Roxbury Knuckle Punchers outlasted Dustin Bowfiddle and the Egret Ninjas, 10-9. Bowfiddle was impressive in the loss. The Egret second baseman was 4 for 5 with a triple and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Roxbury reliever Matt Rodrigue picked up the win, raising his record to 3-5. Andy Helium was tagged with the loss.
The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Roxbury third baseman Grognak Inman, facing Andy Helium, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Knuckle Punchers the 10-9 win.
"I felt good up there," said Inman. "I saw the ball well."
The Knuckle Punchers now have a record of 11-29.
