Richard Alvarado Lost for Season
The doctors have spoken and <Richard Alvarado:player#7970> of the <North Carolina Aviators:team#8> didn't like what he heard. The 25-year-old first baseman is almost certainly gone for the rest of the year and depending on his progress could miss some of next season as well. Alvarado sustained his season-ending injury during the <Georgia Titans:team#94> game yesterday at Peachtree Stadium. He had to leave the game because he hurt himself while running the bases. Today the <North Carolina:team#8> medical staff reported <Alvarado:player#7970> had a sprained ankle and would be absent from the lineup for at least 6-7 weeks.

For the year <Alvarado:player#7970> has hit at a .301 clip with 72 RBIs, 21 home runs and 58 runs scored.
