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.

Welcome to this week's "The Confidence Man Minute" in my hometown, Diamond City, in the stadium where I used to live and work, the Great Green Jewel. I am your host Travis Miles. Let's talk about the action in this Railroad League matchup as the Swatters avoid the sweep, beating the Vault 81 Dwellers 12-4 tonight. That pushes the Swatters back into a third-place tie after Fairline Hill Estates dropped two of three, including today's game, 9-8 against first-place Oberland.

For Vault 81, they broke out of being swept in three straight series by winning their second series in a two to move to 4-2 in their last six. While they are still in fifth place, they remain four games up on the Shaw High School Knuckle Punchers, who also won their series this weekend over second-place Egret, which helped the Swatters in their playoff pursuits.

One player who stepped up for the Dwellers this week is Steve Gunkill. Gunkill was traded to the Dwellers from the Nordhagen Beach Party Boys along with Mark Dombrowski and Charlie Maloney in exchange for pitchers Julian Shed, Kevin Containment, Dirty Dog Sapienza, and Pointie Shroud. Containment has been in the news in Nordhagen Beach for apparently committing suicide by mirelurk. That was concluded when investigators found a note on his home terminal that read, "Failure is forever." Sad news there.

But, back to this game. Gunkill was the Game 1 MVP, a 7-4 Dwellers win. In the game, he was 4 for 5 with two doubles, a triple, and scored three runs. It was definitely his most productive game since joining Vault 81 on May 14.

For Diamond City, Wally Warwick had a hit extravaganza today, going 5 for 6 with two doubles and a run scored. Catcher Jazz Stockton, hitting eighth, was the game MVP here in Game 3 by going 3 for 4 with a home run, two runs scored, three runs batted in, and a walk.

That will do it for "The Confidence Man Minute." Next week, we are heading across the Commonwealth to the Brotherhood League when we watch the Nordhagen Beach Party Boys, currently at 13-20 and in last place, host the County Crossing Bloodbugs, who are 17-16 and in third place. Anyway, until then, have a safe and prosperous week!
