Saturday, August 15th, 2054: Mobley Fires Shutout in Colorado Springs Win
"Sometimes I was smart . . . and sometimes just a little lucky." That's how Jim Mobley of the Colorado Springs Killer Bees described his shutout victory over the Amityville Horror. Mobley blanked them 7-0 on 5 hits while striking out 3 and walking 1.

In 31 starts this year Mobley has fashioned a 7-15 record and a 4.03 ERA.

Tuesday, August 11th, 2054: Fort Myers Pitcher Awesome in Shutout
The Fort Myers manager told reporters after the game, "When he started out, his command wasn't that good, but he's a tough guy. The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."

He was talking about Gary Sterling, who had just hurled a fine 6-hit shutout over the Colorado Springs Killer Bees. He had 4 strikeouts and 1 walk in the Fort Myers 3-0 victory.

"An outstanding job," the Colorado Springs manager said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."

This year in 25 starts, Sterling has recorded 9 wins and absorbed 12 losses. He has pitched 171.1 innings, allowed 180 hits, struck out 75 and has a 4.15 ERA.

Tuesday, July 21st, 2054: Roberts Socks It to Killer Bees, Cracks 5 Hits
5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game and you get your moment of glory...your 5 minutes of fame...you get your name in the record book.

In the Beef 14-1 win over Colorado Springs, Steven Roberts was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at Omaha Fields.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got too much adrenaline going when I realized that this was a special once-in-a-lifetime chance for the record book. On the last hit, I was ready to swing at anything close, I was that excited. That's why my third base coach called time and told me, 'Calm down and wait for a good pitch.' That got me back on track and I nailed the first one in the strike zone."

On his record-setting day Roberts delivered 5 hits in 5 at-bats, a day he will not soon forget.

S. Roberts singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off J. Unknown in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off C. Stevens in the 8th.

During the current season Roberts is batting at a .265 clip with 6 home runs and 36 RBIs. He has played in 96 games and scored 38 times.
