Wednesday, July 4th, 2029: Pacheco Torches Mets for 5 Hits
It was a good day all around. Altoona whipped Binghamton 12-5 and Juan Pacheco displayed a hot bat, enjoying an outstanding 5-hit day at Carey Grounds.

"Some days, lady luck is on your side," he modestly told BNN reporters after the game. His manager told the beat writers otherwise, "His hitting wasn't luck today. It's his solid approach to hitting. Juan is focused, patient and he hits to all fields. The more solid at-bats you put together, the more success you're going to have."

The 22-year-old center fielder for the Curve collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats to get his name in the record book.

J. Pacheco hit a two-run single in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off J. Brito in the 8th.

Pacheco is hitting .277 this year with 7 home runs, 44 RBIs and 48 runs scored. He has 92 hits in 332 at-bats, 34 walks and a .361 on-base percentage. Pacheco has played in 85 games.

Thursday, June 21st, 2029: Year Over for Curve Walton
The season is finished for Mitch Walton of the Altoona Curve. The club announced today that he will forego the rest of the year because of injury. The Curve starting pitcher suffered a ruptured disc while throwing a pitch in a recent game against the Frisco RoughRiders. Team doctors said it would take at least 8 months to heal.

So far this season Walton has a 3-2 record, 12 starts, 79.2 innings, 97 strikeouts and a 3.39 ERA.

Sunday, May 6th, 2029: Walton Outstanding, No-Hits Stars
Mitch Walton relied on excellent pitch selection and pinpoint control to hold Huntsville hitless in his 5-0 win.

"I stayed ahead of batters," he said after the game, "and was able to get a lot of quick outs. My defense deserves a lot of credit too. They had to be on their toes and they saved me several times."

The 21-year-old starter rung up 9 strikeouts and 1 walk in whipping the Stars.

"When a guy is throwing strikes the way he was and is locating well, it is going to be a long day for any club," the Huntsville skipper said.

Walton has posted a 2-1 record in 2029 with a 4.15 ERA. Teams are hitting .218 against him and he has rung up 50 strikeouts in 43.1 innings.
