Game #1:	Game 1 was Dirt Bag batting practice – 18 hit, 18 runs. Homers by Nelson Cruz (8) – grand slam, Ryan Zimmerman 2 (6, 7), Justin Turner (9) and Fernando Mejia (2). Top that off, Lance Lynn tosses a 2 hitter for 7 innings. LBD 18-18-0 WP Lynn (5-3) COL 0- 3- 1 LP Dylan Peters (0-2)

Game #4:	With a day off, Columbus is ready for more but Robby Grossman hits a 1st inning solo homer (4). Jordan Lyles settles in and blanks the Dirt Bags for the next 7 innings! Enriquie Hernandez doubles in the tying run in the 5th and Brad Woodruff and Lyles put on a show. Top of the 9th – Lyles flying high, but Nelson Cruz flies one so high it clears the fence and puts the Dirtbags up 2-1. Chad Green, who came in to quell a threat in the 8th stays for the 9th and gets the job done and the Long Beach gets back in the win column with a squeaker. LBD 2-4-0 WP Green (3-1) COL 1-6-1 LP Lyles (3-5)

Game #6:	OK – still a glimmer of hope of not losing the series and slaying a giant! Trevor Story launches a solo shot in the 2nd for a 1-0 lead off Lance Lynn (finally we score on him). Nick Solak grounds in a DP in the 3rd scoring Pedro Severino to tie the game. Peters is brilliant for 6 and his bullpen follows up. Lynn is Lynn for 7 and his bullpen follows up. Chad Green enters in the 8th. Tony Watson comes in in the 9th and blanks the Dirt Bags, Green blanks the Explorers in the 9th and it’s going to free baseball. Watson still pitching and Severino hits a 1 out homer to make it 2-1. But Green keeps it there for the Long Beach win. LBD 2-4-0 WP Green (4-1) COL 1-7-0 LP Watson (3-2)
Series Summary:	Well we lost 4 of 6 (expected to lose 6) but we could have won 4 of these games. Very exciting times for a team with not much pitching. Long Beach is a powder keg WITH pitching!!

Chicago Mobsters @ Fremont Cannons
Series Preview:	Chicago has a lot of talent, but the results haven’t been there. Fremont comes in atop the AL.
Game #1:	Fremont gets on top of Chicago starter Julio Urias with two in the first, as Byron Buxton singles home Carlos Correa and Yulieski Gurriel singles home Buxton. Austin Hays singles in Gurriel in the third to tack on a run, then Kyle Higashioka’s solo HR makes it 4-0 Fremont in the fourth. Joey Votto’s run-scoring single in the sixth is the first time Chicago gets to Fremont starter Carlos Rodon, then Starling Marte’s solo HR to lead off the eighth brings the Mobsters within two. Brad Wieck and Giovanny Gallegos close it down from there, and Fremont wins 4-2. W: Carlos Rodon (4-0) L: Julio Urias (3-2) S: Giovanny Gallegos (8) HR: CHI- Starling Marte (8); FRE- Kyle Higashioka (4)
Game #2:	Willy Adames gets the coring started in the third with a 2-run HR off of Fremont starter Sandy Alcantara. Two consecutive errors by James McCann allow Chicago to go up 3-0 after four innings. Shohei Ohtani hits his 17th homerun in the sixth for the first blemish against Chicago starter Casey Mize. Chicago loads the bases in the seventh but Alcantara induces an inning-ending double play. Two two-out walks by Aroldis Chapman in the eighth allows Mike Yastrzemski to tie it at 3-3 with a double. Chicago gets a runner at 3rd with one out in the ninth but fails to score. Fremont hits two loud flyouts in the bottom of the ninth, so we go to extra innings. Fresh from stealing a homer, Lorenzo Cain walks and steals second in the 10th, and a Starling Marte double brings him home. Josh Rojas also walks and steals second for Fremont, but Alex Reyes is able to get the strikeout of Mike Yastrzemski to win it for the Mobsters 5-4. Adames goes 3-4 with a homer, double, and 2 RBI. W: Alex Reyes (1-3) L: Genesis Cabrera (203) BS: Aroldis Chapman (3) HR: CHI- Willy Adames (6); FRE- Shohei Ohtani (17)
Game #3:	Fremont tries to keep it close, but the Chicago bats have no trouble with Shohei Ohtani’s pitching as they rough him up for 10 runs (7 earned) on 13 hits in the Chicago 10-3 victory. Ohtani manages to go 0-3 at the plate and commits an error in the field as well. Lance McCullers allows a respectable 3 runs in 6 innings to pick up his first victory. W: Lance McCullers (1-4) L: Shohei Ohtani (3-1) HR: CHI- Alex Bregman (1), Tucker Barnhart (2); FRE- Carlos Correa (7), Austin Hays (7)
Game #4:	Chicago starts the game with Yordan Alvarez’s double allowing Joey Votto to score from 1st base. Teoscar Hernandez singles in a run off of Chicago starter Marcus Stroman in the bottom of the inning to tie it 1-1. The starters keep it scoreless thereafter, until Willy Adames cranks a solo shot off of Tarik Skubal in the seventh to put Chicago up 2-1. A Jake Cousins error allows Chicago to tack on an insurance run, and Alex Reyes goes 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth for the 3-1 Mobsters win. Marcus Stroman gets his first win, while Tarik Skubal gets his first loss despite striking out 10. Austin Hays is knocked out 5 days with a HBP. W: Marcus Stroman (1-6) L: Tarik Skubal (3-1) S: Alex Reyes (2) HR: CHI- Willy Adames (7); FRE- none
Game #5:	Fremont jumps out with 3 runs against Chicago starter Trevor Bauer in the first. Willy Adames homers in the second off of Fremont’s Danny Duffy to get Chicago on the board. Duffy them loads the bases and walks in a run in the fourth inning to bring Chicago within one, but a Mike Yastrzemski homer in the bottom of the inning brings it back to a two-run lead. Yordan Alvarez then powers a 2-run homer in the fifth to tie it up 4-4. Fremont goes up again in the sixth with doubles by James McCann, Mike Yastrzemski, and Carlos Correa to make it 6-4, then a pinch-hit sac fly in the seventh by Byron Buxton puts Fremont up 7-4. The Fremont bullpen holds the rest of the way for a 7-4 Cannons victory. W: Garrett Whitlock (2-0) L: Trever Bauer (5-1) S: Brad Wieck (4) HR: CHI- Yordan Alvarez (10), Willy Adames (8); FRE- Mike Yastrzemski (4)
Game #6:	In the final game of the series, Chicago stakes an early lead with two in the first off of Carlos Rodon. Fremont waits until the third to score, with a Kyle Higashioka 2-run HR off of Julio Urias to tie it at 2-2. A Shohei Ohtani two-run homer in the sixth put Fremont in front 4-2. Rodon would hold the Mobsters down the rest of the way to pick up the CG, as Fremont wins the finale 4-2. W: Carlos Rodon (5-0) L: Julio Urias (3-3) HR: CHI- none; FRE- Shohei Ohtani (18), Kyle Higashioka (5)

YSS 4 – MSS 1
Game #5:	Lynch v. Singer. Single runs in the 3rd and 4th gave MSS an early 2-0 lead. The home team exploded for 7 in the bottom half. Soler (3R HR) and D’arnaud (2R HR) led the way. A couple late MSS solo shots made YSS go back to Clase for another 1 out save. YSS 8 – MSS 6
Game #6:	Heaney v. Walker. The Sox linked a couple crooked numbers together. A Tim Anderson 2 run double in the 3rd was followed by Eugenio Suarez’ 3 run HR in the 4th. Jorge Soler did his best to bring the home team back. A solo shot in the 5th and a 2 run shot in the 7th sliced the lead to 6-3. A Donovan Solano single plated YSS final run. The Solar Sox broke through in the final game. MSS 7 – YSS 4
Series Summary:	The Solar Sox took one on the chin. The Game 6 win avoided the dreaded sweep. MSS continues their road trip to SWD, while YSS packs up to visit MCM.
