"This is Pamela Twitch, color commentator for Sparf.  This week certainly
held a lot of eventful events, so I'll give you the notable notes.

The top story of the week comes from the Black league, where the California
Sluggers and the Cambridge Tigers both defended their undefeated records
successfully.  Both teams are heavily favored to extend their streak to
5-0 next week, setting the stage for what will certainly be a dramatic climax
as the two monoliths face each other and one of the records will then surely
fall.

The black league also held the most amazing defensive stand in the league
to date, when Konstant Kokoroko won the player of the week award for his
austonding defensive flurry.  The Maulers had just had three players leave
the field on stretchers one after the other with a full fifteen minutes
remaining to play.  Nevertheless, shot after shot and mark after mark, the
amazing Kokoroko denied the Novas every attemp to get back into the game,
in spite of their three man advantage.

Manager Hore of the Chaos Demon Stalkers made the headlines with those lesser
journalist who carried the story when he made several rude remarks concerning
the color commentary on the league and its accuracy.  Of course it is clear
that Mr. Hore would know good journalism if it hit him in the face, as it may
soon do.

The Twin Peaks Owls were impressive in their introduction to the league as
they defeated the Borg on their home pate, and The Plague pleased their fans
with a resounding win over Bodoe, as well as the wide television audience on
the first televised game of Sparf.

The last of the undefeated teams in the Red League fell this week as the
Yarloops once again told the odds makers where to stuff their predictions
an upset the Cattle.

The closest game of the week was the Mythstics win over the Manix Maulers.
The Maulers dominated most of the play of the game, especially toward the
end when they enjoyed a man-up advantage, but just couldn't seem to put
the ball through when they finally took the shot.

The CSUA were full of surprises, and threatened to upset the Berlin Maniac
Warriers with a lead going into the final period, but the injuries finally
caught up to the team, and the Warriers treated their fans to a startling
come from behind win.

Wallamaloo beat the Pacifica Tigers in Pacifica, and the Vikings hosted and
roasted the California Giant Redwoods.
