14th to 20th July, 2059
Results:
Sheffield Mountain Hares vs Shenzhen Peanuts (17th in Central and East Asia Division): Loss 2-4, Win 3-2, Win 7-1.
A good week for:
Alois Herzog, who went 5.1 innings giving up just 1 run in the Hares 7-1 thrashing of the Peanuts.
Tuan Sumual, who started his Hares career with a home run in his debut in a 4-2 loss to the Peanuts. The Hares acquired Samual in a trade with the Port Moresby Manatees for second baseman Sadatumi Fujita. The move perplexed many fans given Sumual’s advanced age at 38, and his only just replacement level production since last year.
Jesus Morales, who went 4 for 4 in the Hares’ 3-2 win over the Peanuts.
Home run watch

Thoughts
Just the one series to report on this time, with the all-star break (EAA won 11-5 by the way, with Chinese superstar Right Fielder, Chi-ju Shao winning the MVP honours) taking up much of the week.
A 2-1 series win against the Peanuts is unspectacular given their struggles near the bottom of their division, but we’ll take it. No real clunker performances on the team this week, though there were a lot of errors spread about by the defence.
