Feature Story: Killers at the Starlight Drive-In
The Starlight Lady Killers have been making waves in the midway point of the CBO season, currently tied for first place in the Institute League with the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud. Led by their star players, Zeldolph Violet, Nick Maris, David Seaweed, and Hubris McBride, the Lady Killers are proving to be a force to be reckoned with on the field.
At first base, Zeldolph Violet has been crushing it this season with a batting average of .342, 22 home runs, and 64 runs batted in. His powerful swing and precise eye at the plate make him a formidable opponent for any pitcher. Considered in the thick of the Nuka-Hitter Award, Violet leads the North Charles Association in home runs, RBI, SLG (.698), OPS (1.141), total bases (155), ISO (.356), OPS+ (205), and wOBA (.485).
In right field, David Seaweed has also been a key player for the Lady Killers with 18 home runs (tied for 4th in NCA) and 46 RBI (4th). His consistent hitting and quick reflexes in the outfield have helped the team secure important victories.
At third base, Hubris McBride has been a steady presence in the lineup with a .286 batting average, 14 home runs, and 37 RBI. His strong defensive skills and aggressive baserunning have also been instrumental in the Lady Killers' success.
Nick Maris, the team's leadoff hitter and shortstop, has been a consistent contributor with a .282 batting average, 6 home runs, and 28 runs batted in. His speed on the basepaths and solid defense have helped the Lady Killers put pressure on opposing teams.
On the mound, the Lady Killers have relied heavily on their second starter, Alex Alexson. With a record of 10-1 and an ERA of 3.41, Alexson has been a dominant force on the mound, keeping opposing batters on their toes. His 10 wins are tied for the top in the NCA, while he also leads the NCA in Opponents BA (.211) and Win% (.909).
Offensively, the Lady Killers have been a force to be reckoned with, ranking first in OPS and home runs and second in runs scored. However, they have struggled somewhat defensively, ranking seventh in runs against. Despite this, the Lady Killers' starters have held their own with a seventh-ranked ERA, while their bullpen ranks sixth in ERA.
As the Lady Killers continue their push toward the playoffs, fans can expect to see more thrilling performances from this talented team. With their star players leading the way and a strong lineup and pitching rotation backing them up, the Lady Killers are poised to make a deep run in the postseason.
Analysis
Roxbury remains the #1 team in the CBO with a .774 win percentage. The Sox were slightly below their winning percentage the last ten games, going 7-3. That record includes a split at University Point (#6), winning two of three at Egret (#23), a split at Atom (#3), and a sweep at home versus FHE (#10).
County Crossing is the #2 team and the leaders atop the NCA. Like the Rad Sox, the Bloodbugs went 7-3 in their last 10. They started out with a sweep at Lexington (#18), a two-game series win at The Slog (#22), a split versus the featured Lady Killers (#7), and another series win versus the Ghouls.
The Atom Cats are #3 and in a first-place tie atop the Minutemen League with the Deathclaws. The Cats got there with an 8-2 record over their last 10. That includes a sweep at Oberland (#17), winning two of three at Warwick (#24), a split with the Sox, and a sweep of the Mirelurks.
The #4 team is the Diamond City Swatters after an 8-2 record in their last 10, including the completion of an 8-game winning streak. The Swatters swept the Lurks, swept Vault 81 (#13), swept Warwick again, and then lost the series versus the Vault Dwellers.
Among the hottest teams in the CBO, the Goodneighbor Hancocks are #5 this week. Goodneighbor went 8-2 in their last 10 with a split with the Yao Guai, a series sweep of the Claws, a sweep at Vault 81, and a 2-1 weekend at Quincy (#21).
