Editors note: I've posted this in the wrong order, it should have come before the last post about stats, anyway pretend they're in the right order...
The Peanuts come to Sheffield with a 13-15 record, perhaps they'll try the famous peanut and chocolate yoghurt down at Clive's Yoghurt Emporium? They'd be daft not to.

Sergio Rutz continued to lead the team, going a super 4-5 with a towering home run, a triple, and two singles, driving in three of the Hares’ nine runs. Willie Perez drove in two with a double in the eighth. Yushua bin Saqr was taken out after the fifth having given up three by the end of the fifth inning.

Game 2
SP - Motoyanagi
Motoyanagi gave up all of the Peanuts’ five runs in the first six innings before the bullpen came in and shut them out for the last four innings, but it wasn’t enough. The Hares managed only three runs, all driven in by Saetgaliev who went 2-4 on the day with a double and a single as the side crumbled to a 5-3 loss, leaving them 13-16 on the season. Miletic took the player of the game award, going 2-4 with two doubles that drove in three runs for the Peanuts.

The offense took full advantage with Sergio Rutz going 3-5 with a home run and double, driving in another four to take his season total to 21, leading the team. Flores, Portman and Perez all went 2-4 driving in three runs between them as the Hares thrashed the Peanuts 13-2, taking the series 2-1, and improving their record to 14-16.
