| Breaking News |  | Thursday, September 23rd, 2021: Ridinger Dominates DeKalb
"That was one of my best outings," said James Ridinger. "I was worried a lot in the bullpen. My ball wasn't quite right. Luckily, it can be two different worlds -- the bullpen and the game. Once I stepped on the field, it all fell into place."
It was an impressive start for the Atlantics hurler. He blanked the Kornholes 3-0 on a strong 2-hitter while ringing up 4 strikeouts and doling out 2 walks.
To date in 2021, Ridinger has registered 32 starts, 17-10 won-lost mark, 2.70 ERA, 263.2 IP, 167 strikeouts and 65 walks. Opposing teams have hit .240 against him.

 | Saturday, September 4th, 2021: Madera Reaches 2000
It was a great day for Charles Madera of the DeKalb Kornholes -- but not a perfect day.
He became the latest player to reach the 2000-hit mark, but his team lost the game.
The 33-year-old right fielder got his historic hit in DeKalb's 5-2 loss to London.
"It was a very special game for me, but not a good one for the team," said Madera after the game. Commenting on his achievement to reporters, he told them, "2000 hits are a lot. It puts you in a very select group. You have to hit well over a lot of seasons to do this. It's a good feeling to have your name in the record books with the other guys who have reached this level."
He finished the day with 2 hits in 5 at-bats.
During his career Madera has notched 2001 hits and a .281 average with 227 home runs and 1010 RBIs.
