Baltimore, MD — The Sacramento Prayers left no doubt about their intentions for the new Fictional Baseball League (FBL) season, securing a clean three-game sweep against the Baltimore Satans at Sinners Grounds. The Prayers now stand at a perfect 3-0, while the home team Satans are still searching for their first win of the season, falling to 0-3.

The series began on Monday, April 4th, with Sacramento claiming a decisive 6-1 victory. The Prayers' right-hander, Jordan Rubalcava, stole the show on the Baltimore home opener, delivering a dominant performance by allowing just 1 run on 3 hits over 8 innings while racking up 8 strikeouts. "Jordan can overpower you," Sacramento manager Jimmy Aces said after the game.

The Prayers' offense came alive in the second game on Tuesday, April 5th, overcoming a competitive Baltimore side for a 7-5 win. Center fielder Francisco Hernandez was the star of the night, slugging 2 home runs, adding 4 RBI, and scoring twice. Hernandez broke a 4-4 deadlock in the top of the sixth inning with a sacrifice fly to put Sacramento ahead for good. Sacramento pitcher Fernando Salazar earned the win, hiking his record to 1-0, and Luis Prieto collected his first save. "You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Hernandez told the Sacramento Sports Chronicle.

Sacramento finished the sweep on Wednesday, April 6th, defeating Baltimore 9-4. Right fielder Alex Velasquez provided the offensive spark, hammering a grand slam home run in the top of the third inning to give the Prayers a 4-0 lead. Starter Bernardo Andretti secured the victory, now 1-0, after giving up only 2 runs on 6 hits in 7 innings. Velasquez, whose grand slam was his only hit in five at-bats, remained focused on the team's potential: "I still think this team can play even better," he told the Sacramento Sports Chronicle.
