| Breaking News |  | Sunday, September 17th, 2028: Crespo Torches Eagles for 5 Hits Herman Crespo of the Heat was unstoppable in today's 14-6 victory over the Shanghai Eagles at Meditterranean Park. He battered them for 5 hits in 5 at-bats.
"Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Casablanca shortstop after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 5-5 won't hurt your batting average like 0-5 will."
H. Crespo hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, singled in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
Presently Crespo is batting .253 with 6 home runs and 37 RBIs.

To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today. 5 hits in 5 tries. But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."
At the end of the game Azzouzi had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Heat had won.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
T. Azzouzi hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off L. Renteria in the 5th, singled in the 7th, walked in the 8th and hit an RBI double in the 9th.
Azzouzi has collected 118 hits for the Heat this year, 17 of them home runs. He has also netted 74 RBIs and scored 73 runs while batting .290. |  | Friday, September 1st, 2028: EH Selects Rookie Star of the Month Thulani Coha was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 24-year-old center fielder definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond.
