Coming off a convincing win over the Pros, we stay at home for the second game of our three game homestand. The degree of difficulty on this one is a bit higher, as we host the defending N.L. Champions and only undefeated team in the AltLB, the Las Vegas Atoms. They lead the league in scoring by a significant margin, so we're hoping our pitchers can slow them down and the hitters can keep hitting. We'll be wearing our standard home set with the cream jerseys for this one, and leading the way is infielder Isaac Parades! #WeAreOK

The Sandlot Series was a success, as we defeated our biggest rivals in the Condors to become the superior bird team in the AL. If we want to stay as a top team in the AL, we'll have to defeat a contender in the Detroit Deacons on the road. It may seem like a tall task, but a series of call-ups will help the T-Birds immensely. One of our two snubs from team of the week, SP Andrew Abbott struck out 10 across 2 starts while not allowing a single earned run, earning himself a spot in the rotation for the time being. We'll wear our sand roads in this potential playoff preview series. Cooling off from the Sandlot Series takes us to Fossil Creek in Coconino National Forest, a picturesque place to catch your breathe before tackling the trails to and from here. #Thunderstruck

A big time match up in the American League this week as the T-Birds come to town. 

The team of the week is quite the nifty thing. We now have our first player that has been on the team for four weeks, as Shohei Ohtani has claimed a spot as a hitter again this week. He's been on the team 4 times this season, but none of them as a pitcher.

A statement win over the Deacons puts the T-Birds right back in contention for top team in the AL, with a dominating performance from our pitching core to silence their bats and a typical batting week from the hitters. Our road trip won't get any easier, as we head south to Tampa to challenge the Turtles for the #1 spot in the AL. One of those hitters last week was OF Taylor Ward, who made it home on all of his hits this week while also sending one out of the park and stealing a base to boot. We'll be staying with our roads this week, while featuring the beautiful Emerald Cove, a remote kayaking destination near Willow Beach. #Thunderstruck
