Saturday, October 12th, 2019: Washington's Hamilton Demanding Trade?
It is unknown at this time if there is any truth to the rumor that Washington's Reggie Hamilton has asked his team for a trade. Insiders indicate the first baseman may not be happy with the club management. So far, the team's owners have refused to comment.

Monday, September 30th, 2019: Schroeder 5-6 for Cincinnati
It was a sensational day at the plate for Billy Schroeder, but a letdown as well as the Reds dropped the game 16-15 to the Nationals.

Nonetheless the Cincinnati second baseman was pure misery for the Washington pitching staff. He left them shellshocked with 5 hits in 6 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.

"It's always good to get a bunch of hits in a game, but you also want to win. That's the important thing," Schroeder said.

The manager for the Nationals told SION reporters after the game, "Schroeder put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw him some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."

B. Schroeder singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off D. Rogers in the 9th.

In the 2019 campaign Schroeder has hit at a .279 clip with 66 RBIs, 18 home runs and 94 runs scored.

All game long Washington's Joseph Jolter was rattling the walls at Old League Park and banging out base hits against the Cincinnati Reds. When the dust finally settled on the diamond, he had a 5-hit day and the Nationals had a 16-15 victory.

Speaking with reporters after his standout performance, the 26-year-old first baseman said, "Get 5 hits, win a ballgame, it's nice. I could get used to this."

J. Jolter singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off M. Castillo in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, singled in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th.
