 | Thursday, August 31st, 2017: Axehead Swings for the Cycle
You might say Miruk Axehead wore out his welcome with the Hithlum Stallions. The right fielder gave them fits in today's 8-5 Southfarthing victory by hitting for the cycle.
"To hit for the cycle" is one of the rarest of feats in a baseball game. This occurs when a player hits a single, double, triple and homerun in the same game, getting every type of hit possible. Axehead ended the day with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 7 RBI and 1 run scored.
Talking to the SION reporters in the postgame interview, he said, "After the first three hits, I thought to myself, This could be the game I hit for the cycle. And I got lucky and did it."
M. Axehead hit a two-run single in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off R. Mon in the 7th and hit a two-run triple in the 8th.
This year Axehead is hitting .291 with 10 home runs and 69 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .354 clip and scored 65 runs.

| Tuesday, July 18th, 2017: Snowthorns Shut Out Rainbow, Millstone Winner
Kristy Millstone was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the Rainbow. He shut them out 2-0 on 4 hits with 7 strikeouts and 3 walks.
The Southfarthing manager said, "Kristy was very aggressive tonight. He threw everything he had with a lot of confidence."
The losing manager had praise, too. "He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well. Millstone has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that offspeed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off."
This season-to-date Millstone has 11 wins and 6 losses and a 2.63 ERA.
