12 February 2299 - Easy Town to Honor 2298 Team at Battle for the North Tourney
Easy Town Assaultrons GM Ryan Herner stated that the team wished they were celebrating a championship, but they will still honor their 2298 runner-up status in the Sole Survivor Series.
The Assaultrons were swept by the Goodneighbor Hancocks in the Series, but time has healed those wounds.
"We're going to have an honorary ceremony before our first game in the tournament," Herner said. "That way the fans can appreciate that we did achieve a lot as the North Charles Association title."
The participants in the Battles for the North and the South will be announced on Monday, but the two teams in the Sole Survivor Series host the tournaments. That means the Battle for the North will be at Easy Town's Easy Town Field and the Battle for the South will be at Goodneighbor's Third Rail Stadium at S. Boston HS.
13 February 2299 - Grognaks CF Cited for B&E
Malden Grognaks center fielder Jim White was arrested last night for trying to break into a bar after it was closed. Stating that he just needed one more drink, White was seen trying to break into Malden Malt House.
When a Minutemen patrol arrived, White kept repeating that he needed a drink. According to the arresting patrolman, White was covered in his own urine and vomit.
Reached for comment, County Crossing GM Dan Dall said that the team was looking into the incident and would discipline White as needed.
Originally taken in the 3rd round of the 2296 Rookie Draft, White was traded to the Bloodbugs for CF Walton Johnson in October of 2297. In 42 games in 2298 with the Grognaks with 35 starts, White batted .216 with a home run and 13 RBI.
