Game 20:
Facing iffy defense from the 🧛 #RebeldesMOC, the Naves showed up to hit, to reach, to run and not to yield—led by 🇺🇸 Shrdlu's 4-hit night, 🇨🇺 Salmerón's 2 drives, and pinch-hitter 🇰🇷 Kim driving in 2 more with 2 outs.
🇫🇷 Fontaine and 🇨🇦 Hancock saw action.

Now available: the 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG went on the road again, this time facing a surprisingly effective 🧛 #RebeldesMOC offense and rotation let down by terrible fielding.
All we'll say is this: the Naves grounded into two double plays.
The rest is for you to watch:

As we enter the 7th inning:
🧭 #NavegadoresNAG 6
🧛 #RebeldesMOC 0
The question is no longer who's going to win this game—all the momentum is on La Brújula's side—the question is twofold:
1) can they get to ten runs?
2) can Ted Balloon complete his 3rd shutout of the season?

As we enter the 4th inning:
🧭 #NavegadoresNAG 2
🧛 #RebeldesMOC 0
Ted Balloon finally gets his first two punchouts in agonizing fashion, and two errors from the Naves have so far not cost them.
Can they hold on?

A slide for November 15th's game, in which the sapphire-and-gold Navegadores visit the Rebeldes de Moca and their silver logo, on which a maroon lowercase "m" stands in a blocky modern font. The lineup, including Australian third baseman Wally Balk—24 years old, 1.69 meters tall, 91 kilograms heavy, and the first Navegador to ever hit two home runs in the same game—goes like so: American lefty first baseman Rob Feaster; American lefty second baseman Etaoin Shrdlu; Cuban lefty designated hitter Pablo Salmerón; Australian third baseman Wally Balk; Puerto Rican left fielder Vidal Santiago; Puerto Rican lefty shortstop Benigno Valdez; Mexican right fielder Frank del Castillo; English lefty centerfielder Graham Underwood; Argentine catcher Spike Stonehand.
11/15 (that's tonight!):
The 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG have overcome all sorts of baseball vagary—streaky offense, errors, Canadian pitching—on their way to a respectable 14-6 record.
Tonight, they face Rich "Clever Dick" Lesage's high-powered 🧛 #RebeldesMOC!
Fun begins at 7:05 PM EDT:

A square slide for Game 10 of the Primaverales, the Navegadores de Naguabo at the Rebeldes de Moca. The Rebes shut the Naves out 1-0 on four hits, of which they themselves had three. The slide is adorned by a half-face of RHP Hervé Fontaine, who has thrown two scoreless innings in spring: this is unusual for Hervé, because he sucks as a pitcher.
1905/03/01:
Naguabo has a real weakness against other teams trying to become competitive, and the 🧛 #RebeldesMOC took advantage, because otherwise there's no reason for them to have been limited to one hit and a walk off of tiramierda 🇮🇪 LHP Quentin Taylor.

#RebeldesMOC 🧛 send:
🇺🇸 RF Justin Everett (32, 56 OVR)
Moca has correctly diagnosed Everett as a spent force in the field; it falls to see whether San Sebastián will pick up on that problem.
Símaco González does merit your pity. The #RebeldesMOC 🧛 manager, in his seventh season, has dealt with more churn than almost any other skipper in the league and yet has been able to stay semicompetitive . . . but, unfortunately, a .433 record won't endear any sponsor to you.
