7 September 2298 - Rolled Rolled Up by Bloodbug
Boston Common Lead Bellies (University Point) second baseman Ryan Rolled received a surprise attack near the Harbor by an infected bloodbug that has left him fighting for his life.
The attack occurred while he and a few teammates were fishing off the wharf across the Charles from the Harbor. Below the dock they settled upon, an infected bloodbug had made its resting spot. Disturbed by the noise, the bloodbug left its mildewy confines and made a bloodbug-line right at Rolled, who could not pull his firearm out of his pants pocket fast enough.
The bloodbug got a good jab in Rolled's abdomen, nearly sucking him dry before teammates descended upon the beast and rid it of its proboscis, wings, legs, and finally head.
Rolled was airlifted to Boston Airport to receive emergency treatment from Brotherhood of Steel medics. We will update you if his condition worsens. However, we know from witnesses that he looked "like a rotting feral ghoul with regular skin."

7 September 2298 - BMU: League Championship Goes the Distance, Galleria Prevails
It went the distance, but the Galleria Robotics Experts finally disposed of the College Square Nerd Ragers 6-4 in the series clincher at General Atomics Galleria Park.
Winning the finale gave the Robotics Experts the series, 2-1. They will now advance to the Boston Minor Series.
The Most Valuable Player Award went to Galleria catcher Adam Duper. He batted .500 in the series, collecting 4 RBIs and scoring 2 runs.
"Adam deserves it," said Robotics Experts manager Alfredo Barios. "He was the glue that held our club together."
The Galleria Robotics Experts don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Haymarket Mall Commandos - Natick Banks Big Leaguers series. That series is tied at 1 game apiece. The Boston Minor Series schedule will be announced after the League Championship finishes.
