Note: After this post, I'm going to trial a new (in-game) monthly post rather than the current series by series style. Might make it more manageable for me with limited time at the moment, and probably increases scope for getting a bit creative with how I write it. We shall see!

Lisbon Caravels at Sheffield Mountain Hares – Series Recap


Game 1
Monday, August 30th, 2060

The Mountain Hares opened the series with a narrow 4-2 win at Kingfisher Park, leaning on early power and a steady night on the mound. T. Juhl provided the decisive swing, launching a two-run home run in the first inning to put Sheffield in front for good.

Y. bin Saqr carried that advantage across seven strong innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out five. Lisbon applied pressure late, but S. Burhan closed the door cleanly to secure his 10th save.

Sheffield’s offence was compact and efficient, doing just enough damage to stay ahead, while the defence turned two double plays to blunt Lisbon’s best chances.

Player of the Game: Yushua bin Saqr

Sheffield Mountain Hares record: 70-62


Game 2
Tuesday, August 31st, 2060

Lisbon evened the series in dramatic fashion, edging Sheffield 6-3 in 12 innings. The game simmered for much of the night before finally boiling over in the extra frames.

D. Djilas broke the deadlock in the top of the 12th with a two-run triple, a swing that finally separated the clubs after a long stalemate. Lisbon starter K. Yoshimura set the tone earlier, working 6.1 innings of two-run ball and keeping Sheffield’s bats largely muted.

The Mountain Hares had chances, but repeated rallies fizzled, leaving twelve runners on base as the game slipped away in the late hours.

Player of the Game: Keizo Yoshimura

Sheffield Mountain Hares record: 70-63


Game 3
Wednesday, September 1st, 2060

The Caravels clinched the series with a 4-3 win, striking early and then holding firm through nine tense innings. A. Muthemba delivered the decisive blow in the first, crushing a three-run home run that proved just enough separation.

T. Akida anchored Lisbon’s pitching effort, navigating 5.1 innings and limiting Sheffield to three runs before the bullpen took over. The Mountain Hares threatened late, but Lisbon’s relievers bent without breaking.

Sheffield’s comeback never quite found its final gear, and the early damage lingered like a bruise that would not fade.

Player of the Game: Trevor Akida

Sheffield Mountain Hares record: 70-64


Series Summary

Lisbon Caravels take the series, 2-1, winning two tight contests behind timely power and disciplined pitching. Sheffield opened the set with a solid, controlled win but could not quite match Lisbon’s execution in the late innings of the final two games.

Sheffield Mountain Hares overall record: 70-64
