In a bit of an upset the Cannibals beat the Alberta Administrators at Richard Nixon Stadium. The Admins didn't even manage to get a hit off the Vienna pitchers.

My batting stats aren't too bad, but it appears my pitchers need some loving.

Not cool to pull the pitcher in the 8th inning of a no-hitter when up by 6 runs.

Also you may want to have Rogers cool it on the basepaths.  21 for 38 attempts is not a good ratio, even for your suspect offense.

I guess the AI pulled the pitcher because he was tired (Endurance 14).

I noticed that, too (Rogers ration, Graziadei is also 33-22, Salvenmoser 12-14). I already reduced their eagerness to run in their strat settings. <_<

Standings end of August. With only 15 games of the regular season to go I guess there's not much chance for the Cannibals to go to the Play Offs.



Considering the low budget roster I have I'm rather pleased with the results, though.

A bit of a surprise that the Kentuckians died in the first round, considering that they dominated the entire regular season.

Oxnard 4 - Vancouver 3
London 4 - Alberta 0
Copenhagen 3 - New York 4
