Up first in this new journey was the Basian Clergy White Sox, a religious team from Schima Bas which promotes both good baseball and the word of God in whatever they decide to do. Dr Toni Ripaldi and his White Sox were clearly more in tune as a team in this game and the pitching duel between Tom Robinson and Jason McRae wasn't even close at all at first. With only 2 other pitchers at hand, McRae had to stay out there all game and he would allow 7 runs to go from his glove, including a 3-run big shot from Richard Hayes, the DH for this game. As the DH was in effect, the Cubs' 9 batters each had a chance to create some sort of magic in a game they knew they couldn't win. Anna Builler got 2 runs of her own, the first woman to ever score runs for TJUN-is in history with her homer, while both the gender-fluid Palila Kalawai’a and "experienced head" Stefan von Shültz ended up with 1 run each. The final score was 7-4 to the White Sox, but at least the Cubs managed to be competitive in some sort of way.
The Abanhfleft Revolution All-Stars are next over in Pintook and with them having their bye on the first MD, we don't really know how they will play. It will certainly be an interesting game for Missy Jembembe to deal with, no matter the final result. GO JAGS! Oh, wait...GO CUBS GO!
