CORREA WALKS OFF ASTROS’ VIRTUAL WIN; RANGERS FALL AGAIN
In an attempt to fill the void left by the absence of Major League Baseball, the long-time baseball board/computer game, Strat-o-Matic is playing the 2020 season, virtually.
Strat-o-Matic is using their computer technology to recreate all of the scheduled 2020 games.
As a light-hearted attempt to fill the absence of live-action baseball, KWHI will post the daily results of the computer-generated games involving the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers.
While it, in no way, can replace actual baseball, we hope it will act as a tongue-in-cheek substitute until real baseball returns.
Thursday, the Astros opened a four-game home series by beating Seattle 9-7 in 13 innings. Carlos Correa ended the game with a walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the 13th. The same two teams meet Friday.
Cleveland completed a four-game sweep of the Rangers, 6-4. Willie Calhoun blasted a 3-run homer for the Rangers, who’ve lost eight of their last 10 games.
Here are the box scores…enjoy!
