| Breaking News |  | Sunday, October 1st, 2017: Swaney Takes Home HL Top Batter Award
Howard Swaney battered Huff League pitchers all September and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award.
"I've been around Victory League long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 33-year-old Swaney told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I may not take the field and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month."
In 27 games, Swaney hit .356 with 5 home runs, 20 RBIs and scored 20 runs.
This season Swaney has 34 home runs and a .298 batting average. |

This season Douglas is batting .250 with 134 hits and 25 home runs. He has scored 76 times and has 87 runs batted in.

| Sunday, September 24th, 2017: Blue Fog Snap Swaney's Streak at 22
Outkasts first baseman Howard Swaney went 0-for-4 today in Atlanta's 4-0 triumph over the Oslo Blue Fog, snapping his 22-game hitting streak.
Swaney spoke to BNN after the game and said, "I knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later. I just would have preferred later."
When he made an out in his last chance at bat, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout.
The Blue Fog manager shrugged off the streak. "There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," he said. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here."
This year Swaney has 34 home runs and a .305 batting average.
