CL Selects Rookie Star of the Month
Tuesday, June 1st, 2162:
Luis Moreno is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Continental League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.
In May the
Napa Valley hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .307 average with 31 hits, 9 home runs and 20 RBIs.
In 51 games this season
Moreno has batted at a .303 pace with 59 hits and 17 home runs.
Torres Picked May's Best Newcomer
Tuesday, June 1st, 2162: It was an exceptional month, especially for rookie
Manuel Torres. The first baseman for the
Hammersmith Hooligans performed like a veteran and was named the best newcomer in the Republic League.
He captured the honor by hitting .359 in 22 games with 33 hits, 6 home runs and 20 RBIs.
Torres's current batting average stands at .337 and he has chalked up 10 home runs and 32 RBIs.
