Week 10-11: June 24-July 10, 2024

Round 20

.....Keleri 1-4 Semyof - 1-4, 1-2, 6-12, 2-5, 7-5
..Amnanache 3-2 Cheshek - 5-4(10), 0-3, 6-4, 1-2, 2-1
...Pasataki 3-2 National - 9-3, 4-3, 8-4, 4-6, 0-2
...Mithazni 3-2 Akashemo - 3-4(10), 4-3, 9-10, 8-6, 5-3(11)
..BK Kepmem 3-2 Kupore - 6-1, 8-2, 7-2, 5-7, 0-3
......Nokir 4-1 Tsapna - 4-1, 4-1, 2-6, 7-5, 9-3
....Sitache 2-3 Sh.Eagles - 1-3, 9-11, 3-5, 6-1, 13-8
.......Muni 2-3 Hokrof - 6-11, 8-5, 2-6, 7-1, 1-4
...Westline 4-1 Lutrul - 3-2, 8-3, 6-1, 1-2(10), 7-4
.......Meka 1-4 Mighty Oaks - 1-2(11), 3-5, 3-5, 9-12(10), 9-8

BK Kepmem 7, Kupore 2: Terrible news from the eastern seaboard today, where Kupore 3B Misote Teshelo has suffered a serious knee injury, a torn PCL, which ends his season. Teshelo has not played a full season since 2020. He missed about half of 2021 with a torn quad, nearly all of the 2022 season by breaking his elbow in the second game of the season, and came back just in time to suffer a broken kneecap in October 2022 that eventually ruled him out until September of last year. Having been at Kupore since 2015, he will now be a free agent, and I'd be a little surprised if they brought him back. 2024 was not quite a return to form for Teshelo (he was an MVP candidate in 2020), but any production was good to see and he had been an above-average hitter for a team that really needs some.

Kupore 7, BK Kepmem 5: Kupore CF Owimero Fefen parks 3 long balls in this win over Kepmem. Fefen, a first-year EL player after toiling in the lower levels until age 25, hasn't been that good, but he'll always have this. These were just his 10th, 11th and 12th homers of the season - Kupore's not a great power-hitting team overall.

July 1: Amnanache announces a two-year contract extension for reliever Fapasile Opopa, for a total of around $9.6 million. Opopa signed a one-year deal in the offseason after missing most of the 2023 season but still collecting a ring from National. Amnanache doesn't really have a settled "closer", but Opopa has generally pitched well enough to be worth $4 million and has picked up 9 saves when the matchups dictated it.

Round 21

....Cheshek 3-2 Sitache - 2-6, 12-3, 6-2(10), 7-4, 6-14
...National 5-0 Nokir - 10-2, 9-6(11), 8-4, 8-7, 5-2
.....Tsapna 2-3 Amnanache - 7-9, 7-6, 2-7, 3-7, 5-4
.....Hokrof 4-1 Keleri - 3-0, 3-0(10), 10-2, 3-1, 2-4
..Sh.Eagles 1-4 Mithazni - 8-3, 7-8, 2-4, 4-5, 6-7
.....Lutrul 4-1 Muni - 8-2, 11-3, 5-6, 12-2, 6-5
...Akashemo 1-4 Westline - 1-2, 5-6, 1-8, 4-1, 1-5
.....Kupore 2-3 Pasataki - 3-2, 4-3, 5-6(12), 0-11, 7-8(12)
Mighty Oaks 0-5 BK Kepmem - 1-7, 2-3, 3-6, 6-12, 2-3
.....Semyof 1-4 Meka - 3-8, 3-2, 1-5, 6-7, 1-11

Two big surprise results in round 21. It's rare to see Mighty Oaks swept at all - I'm not sure when that would have happened last - and they were here at Kepmem. But the real shock is seeing last-place Hokrof, who entered with a road record of 13-37, pulling together 4 of 5 victories by completely shutting down Keleri and only allowing 7 runs across the whole series.

BK Kepmem 7, Mighty Oaks 1: The Oaks' first loss in the sweep was also marked by the injury to 3B Netomue Kilutsa, a torn ACL that ends his season. His second torn ACL in the past two seasons, enough that you have to wonder if he's going to be able to continue to play after this. Like Misote Teshelo, he will also be a free agent at season's end, but Kilutsa won't be ready to return until around June of 2025 at the earliest.

BK Kepmem 3, Mighty Oaks 2 (the first one): Not all sunshine and rainbows down in Kiwa Punem this week - in this win, star LF Faruo Ayekrea left with a groin strain that will keep him out until at least late August. This probably takes him out of MVP consideration, which is a shame.

Round 22

.....Tsapna 4-1 Meka - 1-6, 10-6, 2-0(10), 5-0, 1-0
.....Hokrof 3-2 Amnanache - 11-6, 1-5, 5-3, 5-3, 1-9
.....Semyof 2-3 Nokir - 0-1(10), 5-3, 3-2, 1-2, 3-9
....Cheshek 2-3 Keleri - 7-4(11), 4-11, 0-3, 4-9, 9-5(10)
...National 3-2 BK Kepmem - 7-2(12), 0-1, 7-1, 5-3, 5-6
...Akashemo 1-4 Pasataki - 3-4(10), 1-7, 4-0, 1-2, 3-7
.....Kupore 2-3 Muni - 5-6, 5-13, 6-4(10), 2-6, 3-1
..Sh.Eagles 1-4 Westline - 1-8, 5-4, 3-16, 1-5, 7-8
Mighty Oaks 5-0 Sitache - 4-3(10), 5-3, 6-5, 12-5, 8-0
.....Lutrul 4-1 Mithazni - 5-0, 7-15, 5-4, 7-3, 4-2

National 7, BK Kepmem 2: This didn't generate a news story for some reason, but Kepmem's Teshepo Tefasa left this game with a back issue. Tefasa was last year's league leader in wins with 21, and as you'll see, just a few days before this was named June's Pitcher of the Month. He will probably miss all of July, but the rest of his season is not in jeopardy.

Mithazni 15, Lutrul 7: A big part of Mithazni's blowout in this game came from their star 2B Oma Feputso, who was 4-4 with three home runs, 7 RBI, and a walk to boot. Mithazni hit 9 extra-base hits in total, and was very efficient as a team, only leaving two runners on base.

Akashemo United 4, Pasataki Galaxy 0: Akashemo ace Tsarase Roshoshe completely shut down the Galaxy tonight on a 3-hitter, striking out 11 in the process. He's moved up to 2nd in the league in strikeouts, and is on pace for more than he had in 2022 (when he finished 3rd in the league).

Westline 16, Shunna Eagles 3: After I maligned him during the first-half recap, Westline CF Saryesi Sifoku is the first player to record 6 hits in a single game this season, going 6-6 with a double, two home runs, 3 runs scored and 5 RBI in total. Westline is a good offensive team, but today was something else, racking up 22 hits in total despite star 1B Peku Karwo's 0-4 day (though he did walk twice).

-- ......Hokrof.. 35 75

That's a big surge for Westline, 12-3 to widen their lead from one game to four. The two big shock series results in round 21 both had an effect on the end-of-week standings, with Kepmem's sweep of Mighty Oaks allowing for that gap to widen, and moving Kepmem into the top 5, while Keleri drops to a nearly-unprecedented 12th. (They've never finished that low... ever.)

We also see the gap between 17th and 18th widen from 1 1/2 games to 4, with Cheshek going a not-great-but-better-than-they've-been 7-8 over this period. Mithazni and Hokrof were above .500 for the period, with Hokrof winning three straight series for the first time this season (they only won 4 of their 19 series in the first half).

Each team's first six games of this period took place in June, with the final 9 in July. Here are the June awards:

Batter of the Month: Sitache 1B Fomo Tirma - .448, 2 HR, 20 RBI, 19 R. The OOTP news desk hilariously refers to this as a "breakout month". He retook the batting race lead from Topeshe Tsaruo this week. If he's unable to lead Sitache to safety, he would pretty clearly be the prize free agent.

Pitcher of the Month: BK Kepmem SP Teshepo Tefasa - 4-0, 1.25 ERA, 36 IP, 30 K in five starts. Last year's big breakout pitcher kept it going in June, though he'll miss most of July with the aforementioned injury.

Rookie of the Month: Shunna Eagles OF Topeshe Tsaruo - .376, 3 HR, 20 RBI, 17 R. This is his third straight Rookie of the Month award, after Amnanache's Marte Choap won in March.

Next week, the highlight of the early week is a pair of traditional powers that are struggling mightily, as Keleri visits Tsapna. Then, a run-back of one of the rounds from just a few weeks ago. Full schedule:
