In what investigators and team officials are calling a freak natural occurence, Southpaw right center fielder Rio Murray disappeared momentarily in the second inning of last Thursday's 6-4 win over the Alibi Chieftans. After the game, Murray could not say where he was while pointing to a pin-prick sized puncture wound that had mysteriously appeared in the center of his forehead. Both Leftie's right fielder Roger Smith and left center fielder Justin Marano were as baffled as everyone else. "I looked over and he was there, and then he wasn't" said Smith, "it was like he just vanished into thin air." "He was gone baby, wierd." added Marano.

The strange play occured when a Chieftan player hit what everyone assumed was a can of corn to right center. Southpaw second basemen Dan Sagrin said "I went out to get in position for the cut-off and the ball just dropped in and Rio was no where to be found." The hit led to a run and according to eyewitnesses, just as quickly as he was gone, Murray then reappeared, slightly dazed, and threw the ball in to the infield. "I don't know, I don't know." said Murray, refusing medical treatment. Southpaw manager, Patty "Dooks" Fondiller, quite noticably aggravated, declined comment.
