- The Redwood Owls’ rebuild sends veteran RH SP Will Shufflebottom to the Bears in exchange for 20-year RHP Joseph Carr. Shufflebottom will help the defending champs shore up their starting rotation with ace Julio Martinezto out for the next 2 months with an unspecified elbow injury.
6/1:
- Opening Day arrives for the Uplantic Association! The Bears and White Sox start the 1931 season with a rematch of last year’s Windsor Cup Finals. The White Sox take the opener, 6-4. Deerborn’s Jorge Takato turns in 6 3-hit innings for the win.

6/2:
- Deerborn takes the 2-game sweep from Platte. This is somewhat of a statement coming out of the gate for Deerborn, as they begin the season without key components: Thery, Ogg, and Darnell. The injury bug bites again as the White Sox bring SP Jacob Hudson in to close out the 9th inning of today’s 10-5 win. He finishes the game, but complains of elbow soreness afterward. He is listed as day-to-day for the next 6 days.

CF Ramon Zuniga homers for the 2nd straight game to start the season. Today his home run is the only run of the game, a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the 9th. Chargers SP Brahim Mujer gives up just 1 hit in 6 innings in the no-decision. Final: ROL 1, TAA 0.

- White Sox RHP Mathew Huertata fires a complete game shutout, striking out 11, as Deerborn clobbers Taawa, 10-0. RF Curt Sawyer goes deep twice in the win. This is Taawa’s 2nd straight game being shut out, and a sad outcome to their home opener as they debut their new uniforms.
