Baltimore Comets @ Bethesda Bandicoots
Preview:	Two teams at opposite ends of the NL East standings meet up but the early standings are pretty deceiving as these two teams are pretty evenly matched.
Game #1:	The Bandicoots hammered three home runs in the game but had trouble putting runners on base in front of them and it proved to be their undoing as the Comets ran up a 5-0 lead and then hung on for dear life with the game ending 5-4. Jorge Polanco and Dominic Canzone went deep for Baltimore with Shea Langeliers, Nick Castellanos and Mickey Moniak returning the favor for Bethesda.
Game #2:	Reid Detmers luck ran out as the Comets had no trouble whomping Bethesda pitching in a 7-1 win. DJ Herz gave up just one run on three hits and struck out a dozen in seven innings to earn the win for Baltimore. Josh Bell, Trevor Larnach and Dominic Fletcher each popped one out of the park for Baltimore.
Game #3:	Baltimore pitching continued to dominate the Bandicoots with FRankie Montas giving up just two hits over seven innings in a 3-1 win for the Comets. Trevor Larnach had three hits and Dominic Canzone two with one of them being out the out-of-the-park variety. Alex Cobb ended his season on a high note and tossed a complete game, but got the loss.
Game #4:	Pitchers continued to dominate as Gavin Stone tossed a one-hitter for Baltimore … but lost as the one hit happened to be in the same inning as he gave up one of his three walks with Shea Langeliers driving home the winning run in a 1-0 Bethesda win. Mitch Keller went the distance for Bethesda as well with a two-hit shutout in which he fanned eight.
Game #5:	In a repeat of Game 4, Baltimore starter Hayden Birdsong pitched better than Bethesda’s George Kirby but the Bandicoots were able to squeak one run across the plate while the Comets were not and Bethesda won again 1-0. Birdsong fanned nine and walked six while giving up just three hits in the complete game loss for Baltimore. Kirby tossed a four-hit shutout and struck out eight without issuing a walk. Bethesda’s lone run came in the 2nd inning on an RBI single by Chris Taylor that plated Mickey Moniak.
Game #6:	Mickey Moniak homered twice and drove in three runs to help Bethesda to a series-tying 6-2 win over Baltimore. Trevor Larnach had another good day at the plate for the Comets with three hits. Andrew Vaughn had three hits for Bethesda and drove in two runs.
Summary:	A split between two very evenly matched teams. Bethesda heads to Valdosta next week while Baltimore vists Selkirk.

Summary:	It’s already a long year in Valdosta, but they do manage to somehow take 2 of 7 from the Explorers.

Coconut Creek Crushers @ Hollywood Werewolves
Preview:	The reigning powerhouse of the AL West, Hollywood, is set to clash with the perennial championship contender, Coconut Creek, in what promises to be a thrilling showdown. Hollywood has enjoyed early-season success, but doubts linger about their ability to sustain it—especially when facing a team as dominant and well-rounded as the Crushers. With Coconut Creek’s formidable lineup and battle-tested roster, Hollywood will need to prove they can compete at the highest level or risk being overwhelmed by the division’s top team.
Game #1:	Under the bright stadium lights, the stage was set for a dramatic showdown between Coconut Creek and Hollywood. The Crushers wasted no time asserting themselves, as Anthony Santander launched a solo home run in the first inning off rookie pitcher Michael McGreevy, who had recently been called up to the big leagues. It was a rude welcome to the majors, but to his credit, McGreevy quickly found his rhythm, settling in and matching veteran ace Blake Snell nearly pitch for pitch. But there was one key difference—Snell was untouchable. Locked in from the first pitch, the lefty was dealing with pinpoint precision, mowing down the Hollywood lineup with ruthless efficiency. This wasn’t just another dominant outing for Snell; this was personal. Originally drafted by Hollywood in 2013, he never got his shot with the big-league club. Lost to Free Agency after the 2015 season because he did not make it to the big leagues, he was snatched up by Coconut Creek with the second pick in the 2016 draft. Now, fresh off a stellar 17-5 season, he had his sights set on another masterpiece—and a bit of redemption against the team that let him go. As the innings passed, the tension in the stadium grew. Three up, three down—every inning, every batter, every play executed to perfection. By the time the seventh inning rolled around, Snell had not allowed a single Hollywood hitter to reach base. The Crushers, still clinging to a razor-thin 1-0 lead, had a chance to blow the game wide open. With two outs and the bases loaded, Brandon Marsh delivered the crushing blow—a towering grand slam that sent the Hollywood faithful into stunned silence. The scoreboard now read 5-0, and McGreevy’s night was over. Snell, however, showed no signs of fatigue. The eighth inning came and went—another perfect frame. Matt Olson added an exclamation point with a solo home run, making it 6-0 as Coconut Creek entered the ninth. But all eyes were on Snell, who now stood just three outs away from baseball immortality. Masyn Winn led off for Hollywood, but his ground ball was easily handled for out number one. Christian Yelich was called upon as a pinch hitter, a former All Star capable of breaking up history with one swing—but Snell struck him out with a wicked curveball. Twenty-six up, twenty-six down. Now, only Joey Loperfido stood between Snell and perfection. The home crowd was on its feet, despite it being the visitors, the anticipation thick in the air. Snell toed the rubber, staring in for the sign. The first pitch—strike one. The second—strike two. Loperfido stepped back, took a deep breath, and dug in. Snell set, delivered—strike three! History. A perfect game! Blake Snell dropped to his knees as his teammates rushed the mound. The crowd erupted, the moment etched into the record books. Coconut Creek not only secured a commanding 6-0 victory but watched their ace cement his legacy with a feat only a handful of pitchers have ever achieved. For Snell, the win meant more than just another tally in the standings—it was a statement. The team that once lost him had now witnessed his ultimate triumph.
Game #2:	After being completely shut down in Game 1, Hollywood wasted no time ensuring history wouldn’t repeat itself in Game 2. With one out in the first inning, Ketel Marte launched a solo home run, immediately putting Hollywood on the board and erasing any lingering frustration from the previous night’s perfect game. But Marte wasn’t done. In the sixth, with a runner on, he delivered again—a towering two-run blast that extended Hollywood’s lead to 3-0 and sent the home crowd into a frenzy. On the mound, Drew Rasmussen looked like his vintage self, carving through Coconut Creek’s lineup with ease. Pitching into the seventh, he finally ran into some trouble, surrendering a run before being lifted. With the lead now at 3-1, Hollywood turned to their bullpen, and Erik Sabrowski got them out of the inning with minimal damage. Luis Guerrero took over in the ninth, tasked with closing the door. Coconut Creek refused to go quietly, pushing across another run to cut the deficit to 3-2. But Guerrero remained composed, locking in and securing the final out to pick up the save. Hollywood held on for a gritty 3-2 win, evening the series at one game apiece.
Game #3:	Crushers Take Control Behind Logan Webb’s Dominance For the second time in three games, Coconut Creek’s pitching staff delivered a masterpiece, this time courtesy of Logan Webb. The right-hander was untouchable, scattering just three hits in a complete-game shutout, silencing Hollywood’s bats and putting the Crushers back in the driver’s seat with a 2-0 victory. On the other side, Jack Kochanowicz did his part for Hollywood, keeping the game within reach, but the lack of run support proved costly. The Crushers finally broke through in the fourth, when Matt Olson—a former Hollywood Werewolf—continued to haunt his old team, launching his second home run of the series to give Coconut Creek a 1-0 lead. In the sixth, Josh Smith added insurance with an RBI double, but with the way Webb was dealing, that was more than enough. The Hollywood offense never found an answer, as Webb efficiently worked through the lineup, inducing ground balls and weak contact all night. With the 2-0 win, Coconut Creek now leads the series 2-1, inching closer to a series victory behind another dominant pitching display.
Game #4:	For seven tense innings, neither team could break through in what turned into an elite pitchers’ duel between Coconut Creek’s Erick Fedde and Hollywood’s Brady Basso. The two hurlers traded zeroes, matching each other pitch for pitch as the score remained locked at 0-0 heading into the eighth. Hollywood made the first move, pulling Basso after another strong outing and turning to veteran ace Clayton Kershaw. The future Hall of Famer worked through the top half of the inning, keeping Coconut Creek off the board and setting up the game’s defining moment in the bottom of the eighth. Fedde, still dealing, was left in just a moment too long. With two outs and two runners on, Ketel Marte delivered the game’s lone offensive explosion—a towering three-run homer that sent the Hollywood crowd into a frenzy. The clutch blast finally shattered the scoreless tie and gave Hollywood a 3-0 lead heading into the ninth. With the lead in hand, Kershaw turned the ball over to Erik Sabrowski, who made quick work of the Crushers, retiring the side in order to lock down his first career save. Kershaw picked up his 282nd career win, tying him with Tempe’s Justin Verlander for the all-time wins lead. The series is now tied at 2-2
Game #5:	What started as a statement game for Coconut Creek quickly spiraled into a heated, benches-clearing brawl, but when the dust settled, the Crushers emerged with a 6-2 victory and a 3-2 series lead heading into Game 6. Coconut Creek wasted no time jumping on Hollywood’s Mason Black, launching two early home runs and racing out to a 5-0 lead before things took a turn. Frustration boiled over in the third inning, when Black hit Nico Hoerner with a pitch, Black’s second hit batter of the game, leading to an immediate ejection. Hollywood, already on its heels, saw things escalate further when the Crushers retaliated in the bottom half—Hunter Greene drilled Joey Loperfido and was promptly tossed as tensions continued to rise. By the fourth inning, the situation erupted into full-blown chaos. Michel Otanez threw at Aaron Judge, who had been quiet all series, leading to his ejection and an all-out melee. Both dugouts emptied, and amid the chaos, Hollywood manager Felipe Hernandez was seen going after Coconut Creek’s Lou Perranoski III. Words were exchanged, challenges were thrown, and after a lengthy delay, warnings were issued, and both managers were ejected. Once cooler heads prevailed, the Crushers coasted the rest of the way, keeping Hollywood at bay and tacking on an insurance run. Despite all the drama, Coconut Creek never lost focus, securing a crucial 6-2 win and putting themselves one win away from clinching the series.
Game #6:	Hollywood delivered when it mattered most, riding a dominant bullpen performance and a resurgent Aaron Judge to a 3-1 victory over Coconut Creek. The game seemed to look like a carbon copy of game 1, as Geraldo Perdomo took Michael McGreevy deep in the third inning giving the Crushers an early 1-0 lead. But Aaron Judge—who had been largely contained throughout the series and was still fired up from being hit by a pitch in Game 5—finally broke loose. In the bottom half, Judge unloaded on a Blake Snell fastball, sending his 8th home run of the season into the seats to tie the game at 1-1. Hollywood kept the pressure on, taking the lead in the fourth when Matt Chapman delivered a clutch RBI single. They extended the lead to 3-1 in the fifth, as Lane Thomas crushed a solo homer off Snell, further shifting the momentum in Hollywood’s favor. With the lead in hand, Hollywood turned the game over to their bullpen, and they did not disappoint. Clayton Kershaw, Luis Guerrero, and Erik Sabrowski combined to shut down Coconut Creek, tossing four scoreless innings to seal the victory and push the series to a tie.
Game #7:	Coconut Creek delivered a dominant performance, shutting out Hollywood for the third time in their four series victories to claim a 4-3 series win. Just as he had all series, Matt Olson haunted his former team, getting the Crushers on the board early with a first-inning RBI single off Drew Rasmussen. Nine innings later, he put the exclamation mark on the victory with a solo home run, leaving no doubt for Coconut Creek. But the real story of the night was Spencer Schwellenbach. In a game where every pitch carried the weight of the season, Schwellenbach was untouchable, allowing just one hit and one walk while completely suffocating Hollywood’s lineup. Every time Hollywood looked for a spark, he shut the door, inning after inning. On the other side, Drew Rasmussen was strong, but not quite good enough, as his lone blemish in the first proved costly. Coconut Creek didn’t need much offense, and they rode their ace’s brilliance all the way to the finish line. With a 2-0 victory, Coconut Creek clinched the series 4-3, relying on dominant pitching and timely hitting to outlast Hollywood. Hollywood fought valiantly but in the end, they simply had no answer for the Crushers’ arms.
Summary:	Honestly, I’m shocked by how well I’ve managed to play so far. I knew I was up against some tough teams, especially facing the big boys in Coconut Creek, but I called up my highest-grade pitchers to give us the best shot. It’s been a bit of a miracle, honestly. I know the magic won’t sustain forever, but we’re definitely not going to be laying down all season. This is, without a doubt, the most challenging coaching experience I’ve had in my entire MWBL career. Right now, I’m trying to scrape together a .500 record, but it’s tough with a pitching staff made up of mostly 3s and 4s. It’s not the ideal situation, but so far, we’re holding our own. Every game is a battle, and every win feels earned. But I also know that we can’t rely on this early run forever. Eventually, we’ll hit a rough patch—it’s just the nature of the game. Still, I’m proud of how we’ve been playing, and as long as we keep fighting, who knows? We might just surprise some people along the way.

Dallas Cougars @ Fremont Cannons
Preview:	With Dallas moving to the West, this matchup has lost a little of the luster, but it would be a competitive and exciting series. Fremont comes in with the best record in the AL after two weeks, while Dallas is trailing in the AL West.
Game #1:	Dallas Keuchel (DAL) vs Walker Buehler (FRE) The wind was blowing out today as the ball left the yard quite frequently. M.J.

Game #2:	Cole Ragans (DAL) vs Carmen Mlodzinski (FRE) Fremont gets a run in the first with a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. groundout.

Fremont takes the lead in the fourth with an Austin Hays double followed by a David Hensley single. Dallas comes right back in the fifth, as a two-base error from Shohei Ohtani turns a Jarren Duran double into a run. A walk and steal by Andres Gimenez sets up pinch-hitter Victor Robles to single him in, but Robles is cut down trying to reach 2nd. Dallas leads 3-2. In the sixth, Elly de la Cruz walks and steals 2nd, then a wild pitch puts him at 3rd with one out. Ragans then gets a K and flyout to end the inning. Dallas gets runner on 2nd and 3rd in the eighth looking for the insurance run, but a K and flyout keeps it a 1-run game. Down the final inning, Joey Bart leads off the ninth with a double off of Justin Slaten. Pinch-hitter Byron Buxton doesn’t unshoulder the bat, getting walked. Pinch-hitter Elias Diaz looks to ground out, but Josh Jung fires it wide and Fremont ties it up off of the error. Adrian Morejon comes on to face Shohei Ohtani, but he sends one deep to center for the walk-off single, as Fremont wins 4-3. Andres Gimenez went 3-3 with 3 SB in the game, as Dallas racked up 5 total steals. W: Robert Suarez (2-0) L: Justin Slaten (0-2) HR: none
Game #3:	Emerson Hancock (DAL) vs Charlie Morton (FRE) Dallas gets out early in this one with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. A grounder scores one, then a Ramon Laureano single makes it 2-0 Cougars. Fremont tries to get one in the bottom of the inning with a foul out, but Jose Abreu catches Elly de la Cruz at the plate. De la Cruz is tossed after arguing the call. Dairon Blanco gets Fremont on the board in the second with an RBI double but gets thrown out trying for 3rd. Fremont does manage to tie it up in the fifth with a solo HR from Nolan Gorman, making it 2-2. The Cannons get two on in the seventh, but Jarren Duran chases down a potential two-run double. Morton was cruising after the 1st but was pulled in the eighth. A Jarren Duran double, sac bunt, then Andres Gimenez single gave Dallas a 3-2 lead. Gimenez stole second, moved to third on a groundout, then is caught stealing at home to end the inning. Victor Vodnik takes over in the ninth, but walks Mike Yastrzemski then sees him move to 2nd on a wild pitch. Jose Iglesias comes in to pinch-hit with two outs, then sends one towards the gap. Ramon Laureano gets it on the hop, then fires a strike to home to nail Yastrzemski and end the game for the Dallas 3-2 win. Dallas continues to show off their arms on defense. W: Sean Hjelle (2-0) L: Sean Reid-Foley (1-1) S: Kris Bubic (3) HR: DAL- none; FRE- Nolan Gorman (1)

W: Carlos Rodon (2-0) L: Patrick Corbin (1-1) HR: Dallas- none; FRE- Elly de la Cruz (2), Shohei Ohtani (7), Teoscar Hernandez (3), Joey Bart (2)
Game #5:	Valente Bellozo (DAL) vs Tarik Skubal (FRE) A Jarren Duran triple in the first gives the Cougars a chance against Skubal, but Dallas isn’t able to bring him home. Dallas does get the scoring going in the second. A Josh Jung double is followed by a sac bunt, but Skubal commits his second error of the season and throws it away. Josh Rojas follows his lead and throws another away on a grounder, and Dallas gets up 2-0. Jarren Duran walks in the third, then uses his wheels when Victor Robles doubles to score from 1st giving the Cougars the early 3-0 lead. A walk and single in the bottom of the inning sets up Elly de la Cruz for an RBI single and Fremont’s first run of the game. A single by Teoscar Hernandez sets up Mike Yastrzemski for a two-run HR in the fourth to tie the game at 3-3. On the next pitch, Bellozo walks off the mound and is lost for 24 days. The teams trade zeroes as we enter the late innings. Victor Robles leads off the ninth with a single and steal, but Skubal picks off Robles at second for the first out. Skubal gets the next two and we go to the bottom of the ninth. Ex-Cannon Austin Voth sets Fremont down in order, sending it to the tenth. Skubal finally departs, but Robert Suarez goes 1-2-3 in the top of the tenth. Voth starts the bottom of the inning with a HBP, which is costly for both teams as Joey Bart is lost for 21 days. Pinch-runner Nolan Gorman steals second, then is replaced by Byron Buxton. Pinch-hitter Jose Iglesias ends it with a single and Fremont wins 4-3 in 10. W: Robert Suarez (3-0) L: Austin Voth (0-1) HR: DAL- none; FRE- Mike Yastrzemski (2)
Game #6:	Dallas Keuchel (DAL) vs Walker Buehler (FRE) Dallas gets on the board in the opening inning with 2 runs.

Dallas gets the leadoff runner on in the sixth, but a bunt turns into a double play and maintains the 6-4 Fremont lead. Neither team musters much until the ninth. Dallas sees Austin Barnes single with one out. A David Hensley error in LF sends Barnes in and puts Jarren Duran on 2nd. Will Vest is able to get M.J. Melendez to ground out and Fremont takes the finale 6-5.
