| Breaking News |  | Thursday, July 20th, 2028: San Antonio Blanked by Evans
The San Antonio Mission were almost helpless today in their 8-0 loss to Jacksonville hurler Larry Evans. He kept them confused the entire ballgame and spun a 4-hit shutout.
The San Antonio manager said in the postgame interview, "Tip your hat to Evans. He kept us off balance all night."
Evans said, "It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play. It was just one of those games that things went my way."
He had 2 walks and 7 strikeouts in a strong performance.
This year Evans has a 3-3 mark in 12 starts with a 3.13 ERA. He has given up 67 hits in 83.1 innings, struck out 85 and issued 27 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .219 batting average against him.

 | Friday, June 9th, 2028: Mission 3B Wegg Suspended 6 Games
The San Antonio Mission were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Jacksonville at San Antonio Grounds. One in particular -- Henry Wegg. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mission third baseman 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 Wegg 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 Wegg 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 Wegg for 6 games.
So far in 2028, Wegg is batting .273 with 6 home runs and 29 RBIs.

The 23-year-old San Antonio Mission catcher hit at a torrid .692 clip as he collected 9 hits in 13 at-bats, no home runs, 4 RBIs and 5 runs scored.
