| Breaking News |  | Sunday, April 3rd, 1814: 5-5 Game for Chalfant
It doesn't happen very often, but it happened for Freedom Chalfant -- a 5-hit day. He went on a rampage at Shakers Stadium and paced the Shakers to a 10-3 win over the Kenya Sparadimes.
After his dynamite batting performance the Djibouti left fielder told the press, "I just tried to get myself in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control." His philosophy paid some great dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book.
F. Chalfant singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off P. Serrono in the 8th.

 | Saturday, April 2nd, 1814: Stromb Blitzes Guinea
"That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Lesser Goldfingers manager told reporters after today's game.
The Pigs ran into a buzzsaw as Gho Stromb cut them down to size 4-0 with a 1-hit shutout.
His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one."
In the complete game whitewash the Libya hurler doled out 2 walks and registered 9 strikeouts.
In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Gho goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be."
Stromb also got some praise from the Guinea manager.
"He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings."

Pennyloafer Odgers of the Djibouti Shakers spun his magic on the Kenya Sparadimes today. He blanked them 10-0 on 3 hits, registering 2 strikeouts and 1 walk.
"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Odgers said. "My breaking stuff was down. Everything was down."
Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, the Djibouti skipper said, "We got solid pitching, good defense and we took great team at-bats in a lot of different situations. This was just a solid performance by everyone."
