| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, September 28th, 2033: Chikumbu Collects Cycle
Farri Chikumbu of the Brooklyn Cyclones touched all the bases today at Ebbets Field in the 11-6 victory over New York (N), hitting for the cycle. He teed off on Mets pitching for a single, double, triple and a home run. The feat is rare in baseball as it requires a game of no fewer than four hits and the unusual combination of a home run, which requires a batter to hit for some power -- and a triple, which requires a batter to have both speed on the basepaths -- and a favorable fall of the ball.
"The hardest part was the triple," confessed Chikumbu, "A lot has to go right for you to get a triple. It is real easy to get greedy trying to stretch a double and get thrown out. It's really hard to get a three-bagger." He finished his special day with 4 hits in 4 at-bats, 3 runs batted in, 3 runs scored and a place in the record book.
F. Chikumbu doubled in the 2nd, tripled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off C. Córdova in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and walked in the 8th.
Chikumbu is currently batting .310 with 9 home runs and 49 RBIs.

| Wednesday, September 14th, 2033: Cyclones Johnson Gone for Year
The season is apparently over for Martin Johnson. The Brooklyn Cyclones medical staff informed the club that the catcher will be out at least 5 weeks with a strained hamstring muscle. Johnson was hurt in the game against New York (N) while running the bases. The doctors did not think he would recover prior to the end of the season.
Hitting .441 to date, Johnson has 1 home run and 8 RBIs. He has played in 9 games.
