The 2024 Season is back for the Masons, we start the year off just as we ended it with a trip out to Las Vegas to play the Atoms. We hope to right our wrongs from the previous encounter so that we begin to build our path to the Alt Series. We'll start in our road Grays and captain Rafael Devers.

It's that time of the year again, it's time for Thunderbird baseball! Opening Day is now upon us, and we're eager to top last season after a rather disappointing ending. Now matter how we ended last year, it's now about how we begin. We begin the year in a top matchup between one of the toughest AL squads, taking on the Tampa Bay Turtles on the road. We're (mostly) the same team from last year that nearly won the AL pennant, so we're looking to run it back. We'll be in the aways for the first game of the year, with team captain Freddie Freeman leading the Thunderbirds into 2024. #Thunderstruck

We started out strong, but unfortunately Tampa Bay ran away with the game at the end of the week to hand us our first opening day loss in the modern era. We can't dwell on that loss for now, as we have to immediately go back on the road again to take on our biggest rivals in the Los Angeles Condors. They're coming off a win against the Gemini, and they'll want to beat us bad after getting swept last year. While our pitching was disappointing to begin the year, our hitting was back to where it was last year, with offseason acquisition OF Ian Happ leading the charge, batting 0.333 to begin the year with 3 doubles, a triple, and 6 RBI's to start off the year hot. #Thunderstruck

The Atoms looked as strong as ever against the Masons, starting off the season on the right foot with an Opening Day win. We stay at home for game #02 and welcome the Carolina Griffins to town for our second NL playoff rematch in as many weeks. Our old friends played well last week, but the real star was newcomer OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The former Deacon and Turtle thrived in his first week in the National League, hitting three home runs, driving in 11, and stealing a base for good measure. Get used to the sight of purple hair here in Vegas. #03dTimesTheCharm #UpAndAtom

Well that's not how we wanted to start the year. So the Masons return the Amphitheater to face...the defending champs. Glorious, well P Graham Ashcraft had a heck of a week for the Masons and we hope those trends continue. The Masons will be wearing their traditional Home Whites against the Deacons.
