| Breaking News |  | Sunday, July 12th, 2054: Falcons Win, Shut Out Wichita
"He's got a bunch of different arm angles and his ball was really moving," said the Wichita manager after watching Bartolo Rivera of the Spotsylvania Falcons humiliate his club 3-0 in a fine 2-hit shutout.
"If I make good pitches, I'm going to get some outs," Rivera said after he befuddled the Wranglers. "I was making good pitches the entire game."
He whiffed 9 and walked 2 in the complete game effort.
His record this season is 6-11 in 21 starts and Rivera has a 4.75 ERA.

 | Friday, June 12th, 2054: Davis Slams 5 Hits for Cleveland
If just anyone could go out and hit a baseball, big dollar contracts wouldn't exist. But they can't, so the good hitters get the big bucks. Mike Davis showed how it's done as he went 5 for 6 against the Wichita Wranglers and helped the Cleveland Blues beat them 9-6.
The manager for the Wranglers told the SION sportswriters, "We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it. That's the game of baseball. Don't make mistakes and you win a lot more ballgames."
If Davis keeps hitting like this, he could be headed for a big pay raise.
M. Davis struck out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
This season in 59 games Davis is batting .278 with 2 home runs, 19 RBIs and has scored 29 times.
