Nov 02 2055: The Pionners make the Back to Back - by jamanys on July 21st, 2022

After being demoted from Division 5 in 2053. The Provo City baseball team reacted quickly and well.We did not have to wait until the end of the season 2054 to see them brandishing the cup of the championship. And this year they did it again. After a very tight regular season in their division. They managed to get the win despite the fact that they were down 3-1 in the series.

The owner Mr. Jamanys congratulated the opposing team for their great performance, as well as all the players, staff members and organization members for this great achievement before adding that they would celebrate in the proper way tonight.

May 02 2046: MOVES IN PROVO - by jamanys on July 9th, 2020

re-asignment:
Antonio Villalobos (OF) 33 games on AAA, Drafted Round #8 2039

We can see through his changes that the team's mindset has changed. veterans with big salaries have left the team and leaving their place to players with small impacts in the wage bill have arrived. these players are experienced and very good defensively. for the first series with the team the new teammates allowed the Carp to finally bring back a 2-1 away win after 16 games without a win in league against Faibanks who was at 50% of victory before. after 27 games in league the Carp are 15 games behind Anchorage (20-7). the team of Provo will thus go to play its cup series against the Conroe tigers (6th DIV III/ 1st cup group #122) to hope to get good results especially at home after 5 defeats at home.

Mar 18 2046: 1ST ROUNDER AT PROVO - by jamanys on June 27th, 2020

DRAFT PROSPECT :
the newly arrived team has just drafted its first player. Francisco Sandoval a player from Mexico.
Sandoval is an exciting player. he can play either OF or Catcher. he is 19 years old and after 4 years playing in the Latin league he is ready to rub up against the level of American Baseball. he is known to be a fast player and has a strong arm especially when it comes to power. His ease with his arm and the fact that he pitches with his right hand allows him to be versatile in defense in his two favorite positions. He is also a right handed batter and is not bad but not incredible. He has hit over the last four seasons with an average of 0.259 but it is mostly his SLG of 0.365 that makes Fidel Mata say that he can be a good slugger. Sandoval expressed his joy at being part of the organisation and said "I'm ready to play for the team and climb the ladder one by one". All this is promising.
