Just hours after the e-mail from the Bulls admonishing the league at the lack of trades, the Killers and Revenge announce a blockbuster.
The Revenge trade Matt Harvey (.05 Mx) and Martin Maldanado (.06 14+) to the Killers for Yadier Molina .06 12. The Killers waive Brett Pill (.05 14+) to make room for their two new players.

Natural Day - 2012
Celebrating the 28th anniversary of Ryne Sandberg's incredible game against the St. Louis Cardinals, our CFCL version of The Natural Day had its own come from behind heroics.
For much of the evening the Clowns held a lead, at times commanding, in what looked like a cakewalk to a $25 gift certificate. Instead, inning by inning, batter by batter the Revenge chipped away at the lead and ended up winning in convincing fashion. Last year's winner, The Ruffins, finished last this year, no doubt suffering from the Head Ruffin being away on a scouting trip in Europe.
Here are the final results as well as some interesting notes about the Cubs vs. Cardinals game in 1984.
Revenge - 55 (MLB.com gift card will be on its way). Oh, by the way, the Revenge also won K-Wood day this year making it a clean sweep.
Clowns - 48
Beatniks - 41
Bulls - 40
DoorMatts - 38
Dem Rebels - 37
Twin Killers - 33
Kenndoza Line - 22
Stranger Danger - 20
RYNE SANDBERG - 20
Ruffins - 11

- Ralph Citarella was the starting pitcher for the Cardinals on 6/23/84. He was staked to a 7-1 lead early in the game but came away with a no decision. As if the baseball gods were saying "Well, if you can't win this game. . . " Citarella never won a major league game.
- Often overlooked, Willie McGee hit for the cycle.
- Steve Trout was the starting pitcher for the Cubs that day, giving up 7 earned runs in one and a third innings.
- Current Cubs broadcaster, Keith Moreland, played rightfield and went 0-4.
- Many people have claimed that Sandberg won the game with his second homerun off Bruce Sutter. In fact he tied the game in the 9th and again in the 10th inning with homeruns off Sutter.
- Dave Owens knocked in Leon Durham with the winning run in the 11th inning.
- Cardinals closer, Bruce Sutter, entered the game in the 7th inning and proceeded to pitch three and a third innings (giving up three earned runs).
- Attendance for the game was 38,079.
