Yanks Drizzle as Nats Sizzle
On Tuesday night a light rain fell over Richard`s Field as the Mighty Bombers took on the Nationals for the third and final meeting of the regular season. As in the previous two games, both won by the Nationals, the Yankees got off to a sluggish start defensively. The Yanks had four errors and misplayed a couple of balls in the first three innings leading to a nine run outburst that they would never recover from, and ended up losing 9-2. The Nationals made the plays and we didn`t, it`s just that simple," says Yankee Coach, Don Peralta. There were a few bright spots for the Yankees. Facing some of the better pitching in the league the Yankees struck out only five times. Anthony (The Big Easy) Lozano led the Yankee hitters going 2-3. Jordan (Panda) Susbilla continued his assault on the outfield walls, with another monsterous double. Scotty (Happy) Gilmore and Chase (The Mighty) Meniatis had singles. Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell had his third homer of the season taken away by a fantastic play in the Nats outfield, but added a single in his final at bat knocking in the lone Yankee runs. While Yankee starter, Charles (Nails) Godtfredsen and the Panda fell victim to a shakey Yankee denfense, The Big Easy and Jake (The Snake) Peralta were able to hold the Nationals scoreless over the final three frames. The Snake struck out the final two batters to close out the pitching effort. Defensively the Yankees were able to put together a perfectly executed pickle play, with Parker (The Real Deal) True coming in from center field and ran down former Yankee Ramon (Mad Dog) Esparza III. Other Yankees in the right spot at the right time were: Spencer (The Road Runner) Floyd, Tristan (Brave Heart) George and (Joltin`) Jacob Rosin. With the loss the Yankees remain alone in forth place with a 5-7 record.

Yanks do it all in Win over Dodgers
The Yanks, having ended their five game losing streak earlier this week, hoped to take that momentum into Thursday`s matchup against the Boys in Blue. The Yankees put together their best game of the season. The Yankees aces, Charles (Nails) Godtfredsen and Anthony (The Big Easy) Lozano, combined on a one hitter in hurling the second Yankee shutout of the season. The Yankee defense was just a spectacular as its pitching, turning two double plays. Jordan (Panda) Susbilla, "The Big Easy" and (Joltin`) Jacob Rosin turned a text book 4-6-3 double play. Chase (The Mighty) Meniatis snared a line drive and threw to "Joltin` Jacob at first to record the second double play. Tristan (Brave Heart) George made a great catch in right field with the sun glaring in his face. The Yankees used a keen eye at the plate drawing four walks. Parker (The Real Deal) True took one for the team, getting nailed by a pitch that would have sent many a player to the bench. "The Real Deal" leads the league in getting hit by pitches, but brushes them off like a windshield getting splattered by a bug. The Bombers offensive was also evident. Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell hit a towering, three run blast that put the game out of reach for the Dodgers and ended the game in walk off fashion. Jordan (Panda) Susbilla, just missed a homer, ranking a double off the left field wall. Andrei (The Big Cat) Buado, (Joltin) Jacob Rosin and Charles (Nails) Godfretsen added singles to help the Yankke cause.
