The Confidence Man Minute with Travis Miles

This is a transcript from Travis Miles’ post-game sign off of Game Three of the DCR Series of the Week.

This is "The Confidence Man Minute." I'm your confident host, Travis Miles. Let's talk about this weekend in the Minutemen League.

With today's 13-7 count, the University Point Deathclaws won the series against the Jamaica Plain Treasures. With the win, the Deathclaws push their record to 14-16 on the season, which means they could be tied for fourth place with the Quincy Gunners, depending on the Gunners' game tonight at Goodneighbor.

The Treasures fall to a CBO tie for worst with Shaw High School, who is losing 26-4 entering the top of the ninth inning and is most likely to lose. The Treasures are 8-22 with the loss, now six games back in the Minutemen League of the Deathclaws who currently hold fifth place. It will be a tough time for the Treasures to climb out of that position. They can be encouraged by their Game 2 win, though, where Mike Van Noord and Cody Flatt each pounded out two home runs and drove in 10 runs between them in the Treasures' 11-4 win.

Otherwise, it was all University Point here at Gwinnett Brewery Park. Jukebox Luttrell continued to produce, including his 8th home run in Game One. Today, he was 4 for 5 with a double, a run, and three runs batted in. Jamie Pipegun did well from the leadoff spot, hitting his 5th home run of the season in Game One. Like Luttrell, he was 4 for 5 today with a double, three runs scored, and an RBI. Ace Quentin Malone pitched really well in Game One, allowing only one earned run and three runs overall in eight innings to move to 5-2 on the season.

Next week, Jamaica Plain hosts Goodneighbor, while University Point will host the Atom Cats. As I am saying this, the 15-14 Cats lead 22-7 Warwick 5-3 in the top of the third of that game. Goodneighbor, who is 15-14, plays the 14-15 Quincy Gunners tonight.

Next week, we at DCR are watching the Railroad League's Vault 81 Dwellers, currently at 11-18 and in fifth place, when they travel to the fourth place Diamond City Swatters at 15-14, who needs a win this afternoon at Fairline Hill Estates to move into a third place tie. That game is in the bottom of the 3rd with Diamond City leading the Yao Guai 3-1. OK. That will do it for me this week. Have a great week!
