Thursday, July 7th, 2016: Fuentes Given 4-Game Suspension
The Albion Nightmare were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Charleston at Rush Ballpark. One in particular -- Basilio Fuentes. Upon being called out on strikes, the Nightmare catcher gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower.

But the disgruntled Fuentes lingered on the field for another five minutes berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse.

But it got worse after the game, when Fuentes told reporters, "He was blind today. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him. If he doesn't know the words to the song, I'm sure we can get it in braille, so he can follow along."

For all of his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Fuentes for 4 games.

Thus far this year Fuentes is batting .262 with 3 home runs, 30 RBIs and 25 runs scored.

Tuesday, July 5th, 2016: Ramires Spins Shutout
The Rim Jaws were no match for Frank Ramires of the Albion Nightmare. He totally shut down Rochester at Rush Ballpark. In the 9-0 win, Ramires tossed a 6-hitter, struck out 2, and walked 1.

In 2016 Ramires has compiled a 3-2 record with a 5.60 ERA.

Sunday, June 19th, 2016: Super Swinger -- Uchida Slams 5 Hits
During a player's career, there are days that stand out, and this day was definitely special! Yoshihide Uchida went 5 for 6 against the Albion Nightmare at Skydivers Stadium and the Suns picked up a 19-6 victory.

He exclaimed, "What a day! We win and I get 5 hits! Couldn't be better!" The delighted center fielder was really enjoying the happiness of the moment in the press room.

"He was patient up there today," the Scottsdale skipper told the press after the game. "I like the way he waited for his pitch and wasn't overly agressive. Uchida has a tendency to go after some bad balls sometimes."

Y. Uchida singled in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, tripled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th, hit a three-run double in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

This year Uchida has hit at a .305 pace and produced 33 RBIs, 3 home runs and scored 51 runs.
