Breaking News | | Thursday, September 17th, 2020: Macaluso Befuddles Monck's Corner Joseph Macaluso had the Monck's Corner Monks dancing to his tune today with a sparkling 7-0 shutout performance for the Danville Dans. He gave up 4 hits and collected 1 walk and 7 strikeouts.
Monck's Corner hitters were bewildered throughout the game by his delivery.
The opposing manager said, "When you face a guy who hides the ball like he does, it takes a couple of at-bats to try to find his release point. We just never figured him out."
In 2020 Macaluso has compiled a 15-15 mark with a 3.80 ERA in 33 starts. | | Thursday, September 10th, 2020: Hit Parade: Bañuelos Pops 5 Hits 5 hits in 6 at-bats.

He rifled base hits all over the ballpark in his team's 15-3 shellacking of the Monks.
In the postgame press conference he joked, "Heck, that's a week's worth of hitting for me and I did it all in one day. I guess I can take the rest of the week off... Right, skipper?"
Á. Bañuelos tripled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off G. Kos in the 6th, flied out in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off J. Fullen in the 9th.

Á. Bañuelos tripled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off G. Kos in the 6th, flied out in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off J. Fullen in the 9th.
Bañuelos on the season is batting .438 with 4 home runs. His totals include 10 RBIs and 20 runs scored.
