Plantana deserved the honor, batting .333 with 3 home runs and 10 RBI. Is the month of June a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let
Jofre enjoy the limelight.

Jofre is batting .302 with 67 hits and 10 home runs. He has scored 36 times and has batted in 27 runs.
Top RL Rookie of the Month Named
Tuesday, July 1st, 2098:
Jimmy McIlwrath was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 21-year-old right fielder definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen June's Republic League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting.
In 28 games
McIlwrath batted .246 for
Cleveland, slapping 29 hits in 118 at-bats with 5 home runs, drove in 18 runs and scored 11 times.
