Border Jumpers Miller Gone for Year
Friday, May 29th , 2076
When Tom Miller was hurt against the Havana Comrades, the Laredo Border Jumpers were hopeful that the injury was not serious. However, it proved to be more severe than first thought. The 26-year-old first baseman suffered a torn posterior cruciate ligament running the bases in yesterday's game. Team doctors told BNN today that Miller would miss 9-10 months of the season.
At present, Miller is batting .231 and has collected 2 home runs, 15 RBIs, .288 OBP and scored 15 runs.

Did Players-Only Meeting Have an Impact?
Friday, May 29th , 2076
Bryant MacInnes recently held a players-only meeting with members of the Laredo Border Jumpers, to discuss issues on and off the field during their recent struggles.
But MacInnes now says he's not so sure if the meeting had any impact.
"I mostly talked, some guys listened, some it seemed to roll right off their back. I don't know, I guess we'll see how the rest of the season goes," he said, while still being unwilling to discuss the specifics of what was talked about in the meeting.

Launch Colón Smacks 5 Hits
Thursday, May 28th , 2076
After his 5-hit effort at Launch Pad was tarnished by Cape Canaveral's 10-8 loss to the Honolulu High Tide, center fielder Tony Colón told BNN beat writers it was "a missed opportunity for a special day."
"It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college, two hits in a game is nice," he said. "I would have been happy to stop there if it meant we got a win."
He didn't get the win, but the 25-year-old had a spectacular 5-for-5 game against the High Tide.
"His swing is getting there," said Launch skipper Mike Best after the game. "We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. Tony did that to perfection and we wasted it."
Tony Colón singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Chris Mitchell in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Chong-xian Chua in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
So far this season, Colón is batting .286 with 6 home runs, 26 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 46 hits in 161 at-bats, 20 walks and a .376 OBP. Colón has played in 48 games.
