Price Slams Milestone Homer
Monday, August 5th, 2097: Joseph Price circled the bases and raised his arm in triumph. He had finally hit his 300th home run. It was a homer for a lot of people: himself; his teammates past and present; his former managers and coaches; and especially his family, who sat near the plate cheering his every at-bat during the past few games.

Price spoke with BNN and said, "I knew number 300 would come sooner or later. I had to keep reminding myself, 'Relax, relax, just let it happen, let it happen.' And it finally did."

His milestone homer came in the Chico Rebels 4-2 win over the Hartford Harpooners. Price went 2 for 5 in the game, scored 2 runs, and batted in 3.

Lifetime Price has hit for a .277 average and totaled 1648 hits, 301 home runs and 935 RBIs.

Dear League:

Please make sure I export this offseason so I can use the 50 million we have in cap space.

Thank you,

Noblesville Management

P.S. If you could not sign any of your stud SP's and stud OF's it would be greatly appreciated.

Gil Collects Cycle
Tuesday, August 6th, 2097: It was a special day for Jorge Gil at Ballpark of Colorado -- the Hammersmith center fielder hit for the cycle -- getting every type of hit possible. The 35-year-old Gil racked up 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to get his name mentioned in the record book. For the game he was 4-5 with 2 RBI and 4 runs scored.

But all that didn't win the ballgame as the Rancheros took home the victory 14-8.
In the words of the Colorado manager, "He hit everything we threw. There was just no getting him out today."

"I'm glad for Jorge," his manager said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing and a nice feather in his cap. Would've been better if we could have won the game for him, too."
Speaking to the press after the game, Gil gave the key for his record-setting day. "I just got some good pitches to hit."

J. Gil doubled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, tripled in the 5th, singled in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off L. Trejo in the 9th.

Currently Gil has 7 home runs and a .266 batting average.

Thursday, August 8th, 2097: "He's mixing his pitches real well and keeping his composure on the mound," the Apex manager said. "When Ramos does that, good things happen."

He had 11 strikeouts, no walks and allowed 5 hits.

This season Ramos has gone 11-7 with an ERA of 2.81, posting 144 strikeouts in 156.2 innings.

Baltimore Over Noblesville 5-2, 250-th Win for Kim
Friday, August 30th, 2097: Young-pil Kim of the Baltimore Charm will go down as one of the league's legendary pitchers after his 5-2 win today against the Noblesville Millers.

"It felt like it was a postseason game, one out at a time," said his manager. "It was something special to see."

The 38-year-old Kim picked up his 250th career victory at Mill Park. He hurled 8 innings, gave up 7 hits and registered 7 strikeouts along with no walks.

"I've worked a long time for this," Kim said. "I can't believe it's really here. It feels great!"

Thus far in his career, Kim has put up a won-loss record of 250-164. Lifetime he has an ERA of 3.49, struck out 2088 batters and held opposing teams to a .266 batting average.

Yamamoto Is August's Top Starter
Sunday, September 1st, 2097: August's #1 hurler was Mitsuhide Yamamoto of Colorado. He gunned down Republic League hitters the whole month and claimed the Pitcher of the Month award. The Rancheros star piled up 5 wins and 1 loss to take the honor.

The 28-year-old Yamamoto added 32 strikeouts in 48.2 innings and 2 walks to his season record and compiled a 1.48 ERA. Other clubs hit .246 against him.

On the season Yamamoto has a 12-6 record with a 2.99 ERA.



Cardenas Tabbed as August's Starter of the Month
Sunday, September 1st, 2097: Capping off a whirlwind month in which he went 5-1 with a 1.43 ERA, Miguel Cardenas was selected as August's Continental League Pitcher of the Month today. Reporters caught up with the elated Apex starter as he left the clubhouse.

"I know it's difficult for pitchers -- when you have a bad start or two, people start wondering if you've lost it. Then you ride stretches like this one for all you can. You find it easier to come to the park every day because know you're contributing to the club, not just waiting for your turn in the rotation to make up for your last start."

Miguel Cardenas definitely contributed to the club. He had 6 starts, throwing 44 innings, striking out 37, and holding the opposition to a .212 average.

In 26 starts this year Cardenas has fashioned a 13-7 record and a 2.01 ERA.

Hartford's Ornelas RL #1 Batter in August
Sunday, September 1st, 2097: Orlando Ornelas feasted on Republic League pitching in August and today he walked off with the Batter of the Month award.

Ornelas is hitting .346 so far this season with 104 RBIs and 100 runs scored. He has 165 hits including 32 home runs, 74 walks and .441 OBP.


Baltimore's Miller Snags August Batting Title
Sunday, September 1st, 2097: When guys like Baltimore's Brendan Miller win Batter of the Month awards, it just makes you feel good. In a productive August, the longtime Continental League veteran toyed with opposing pitchers all month long, collecting 25 hits in 84 at-bats.

The veteran right fielder hit for a .298 batting average and collected 11 home runs, 28 RBIs and 19 runs scored.

Hartford Third Baseman August's Premier Rookie
Sunday, September 1st, 2097: Yoritoki Nakamura performed better than all of his first-year peers in August and today was presented the Republic League Rookie of the Month trophy.

Last month the 27-year-old Hartford third baseman played in 21 games and hit .389 with 2 doubles, no triples and 3 home runs. Nakamura also scored 16 times and drove in 9 runs.

This year Nakamura is hitting at a .333 pace with 9 home runs and 44 RBIs. He has played in 94 games and scored 65 times.


Red-Hot Tokyo Rookie Rated CL's Best
Sunday, September 1st, 2097: What a fantastic August it was for Juan Jose Morán! The Tokyo shortstop battered Continental League hurlers for a .403 batting average as he easily claimed the Rookie of the Month Award.

He tallied no home runs, 6 RBIs and 10 runs scored in the month-long assault. Morán also had 8 walks for a .460 on-base percentage.

If he continues to outpace the rookie class like this, he could very well be the 2097 Benny Myers Rookie of the Year Award winner.

Currently Morán is batting .299 with 1 home run, 36 RBIs and 47 runs scored.

Lin Tosses No-Hitter Against Rebels
Saturday, September 14th, 2097: Wen-huan Lin of the Marlboros was standing behind the mound when the scoreboard caught his eye, confirming what he already knew... he was one out from a no-hitter. He froze... for a couple of seconds he didn't move.

"This hitter is the last one," Lin told himself. Then he collected himself and finished one of his greatest performances ever.

The Toronto hurler no-hit the Chico Rebels 5-0 at Rebels Ballpark, finishing with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts, facing only 29 batters.

Lin admitted to the press, "I knew from the fifth inning on it was a no-hitter, but really didn't worry about it until the last out. I just wanted to win the game until then... then I wanted the no-hitter, too."

In 28 starts this year Lin has crafted a 9-11 record and a 5.11 ERA.
