Stalkers Handed 11-3 Loss by Ypsi
The Ypsi Yard Cats used the hitting of catcher Xiao-gang Jong to subdue the Iowa City Stalkers, 11-3. For the game, Jong was 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The Stalkers fall to 11-16 and continue their lackluster start in 2069.

Dennis Smith, who finished 4th in the TTWB in batting average with .295 in 2066, was 2-4 with a double and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for Ypsi. In a tie game with no one out in the bottom of the seventh, Smith came through with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch. It put the Yard Cats in front, 4-3.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Mark Sands told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
