| Breaking News |  | Friday, August 18th, 2017: Axehammer 5-6 for Nymphs If the Long Cleve Ages know how best to pitch the Mount Taras right fielder Foilir Axehammer they didn't tip their hand today. Instead Axehammer showed he knew how best to hit them as he easily handled Ages pitching, going 5 for 6 and helping the Nymphs to a 17-5 triumph at Nymphs Ballpark.
He told SION reporters in the postgame interview, "The way I was swinging today, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball."
The Long Cleve skipper quipped, "Well, the next time we may just do that...blindfold him...and then pitch him differently, just to be sure."
F. Axehammer singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, struck out in the 6th, singled in the 9th and hit a three-run home run off G. Echeandia in the 9th.
This season Axehammer is batting .276 with 5 home runs. His totals include 37 RBIs and 69 runs scored. |  | Tuesday, June 13th, 2017: Anándel Guns down Long Cleve Anduin hurler Celauhil Anándel was at his best as he whitewashed the Long Cleve Ages 4-0 today.
