The Atom Cats have released a statement confirming the trade of 32-year-old RHP Bob Parkman to the Abernathy Adamantium for 19-year-old minor league LF Ben Hawkins and a 2nd round draft pick. The deal was finalized today.

Hawkins started 35 of 43 games for Bunker Hill in left field. In 124 official at bats, he had 36 hits for a .290 average, nine doubles, two home runs, 25 walks, 16 runs, 20 RBI, and 27 strikeouts.

He is originally from Bellingham, which is on the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border.
6 July 2298 - BMU: Kish K's 10 En Route to 2-0 Sentry Bots Win
The Somerville Place Sentry Bots picked up a win at Garden Terrace Field, taking down the Haymarket Mall Commandos, 2-0. Starting pitcher Josh Kish was a big reason why. With the win, Somerville Place pushed its record to 24-23.
The Commandos had little chance against Kish, who overpowered Haymarket Mall hitters and struck out 10.
"Josh made his pitches," said Somerville Place manager Limp Durn.
Pinch hitter Frankie O'Luck was the offensive hero for the Sentry Bots. With two on and two outs in the top of the ninth, O'Luck stroked a two-RBI double off Commandos reliever Batface Landry to deliver the game-wining hit.
Also Sanch was Haymarket Mall's starter. In 8.0 innings, he allowed only two hits and no earned runs to go with two walks and six strikeouts. Sanch's record remains 9-1 on the season.
6 July 2298 - BMU: Q Stars for Raybathers in 10-4 Win

Mystic Pines third baseman Ruben Q had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Greentop Nursery Night People, 10-4. With the victory, the Raybathers upped their record to 28-19.
With Mystic Pines leading 2-0 in the bottom of the second, Q hit a fastball from Emmett Frito for a 3-run home run. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Raybathers ahead, 5-0.
"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Q.
6 July 2298 - BMU: Strongbacks Top Gun Fu in Extras, 6-4
Starting pitcher Bobby DeLaune pitched well enough to help the Outpost Zimonja Strongbacks beat the Bunker Hill Gun Fu, 6-4. John McEntee recorded the save, his 1st. With the win, Outpost Zimonja upped its record to 24-23.
Outpost Zimonja used the timely hitting of Keagan Heat to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 3-run home run in the top of the 13th inning to put the Strongbacks ahead, 6-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a big one.
"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Heat, "and not try to do too much."
