News and Announcements
The Wounded Gazelles extended their winning streak to 2 games with a well timed, classy victory over the Ball Snatchers Wednesday night.
The big news, however, was off the field. Star shortstop/pitcher Brian Peters was the center of heated debate around his living situation. Peters is re-locating to a new area of town and, depending on where he lives, may no longer be eligible to play for the Gazelles as per rule 5.4 of the crosstown handbook which states that a player must live within 5 km of 80% of their team members in order to be an eligible player.
Gazelle legal advisor Cory Jennermann has refuted rule 5.4 citing the case of the Mighty Ducks vs. the US peewee hockey association. Jennermann has publicly stated that the loophole which allowed Banks to play for coach Bombay even though he lived outside of district 5 is precedent to keep Peters on the team.

Sportswire Press Release: May 13, 2010
A new look and new roster seem to be working so far as the Wounded Gazelles cruised to an easy 14-3 win over the Force Four Furries.
Coach Kristen Suess credited "High fives and giving 110%" as keys to the win. A number of minor injuries were sustained during the game; star center fielder Kenton Delisle is suffering from a strained hamstring, pitcher Steve Mason suffered a minor abductor tear, and Sean Lloyd is nursing a bruised shin after being hit by a ball. All players are listed as day to day.
It is speculated that a contract dispute caused Cory Jennermann to be late. Jennermann declined to comment, his agent stated "Cory is happy to have a secure future with the franchise and looks forward to the season."
