Queensland Storms Out of the Gate with Dominating Performance

Queensland, Dunwich (BP) – The Eagles were the popular choice for finishing on top in the Eastern League in pre-season polls, and they are certainly living up to their billing, if the first two weeks of the 1937 season are any indication. Queensland has faced four opponents thus far and has yet to drop a series, taking 3 of 4 games from Cobourg, 2 of 3 from Braeland City and sweeping both Stratford and Embro. They are currently on an eight game winning streak, have outscored their opponents 91 runs to 43 in 13 games and lead the Eastern League in most offensive categories. It’s still early of course, but the Eagles have set the pace. Now let’s see if anyone can keep up.

Not surprisingly, a couple of notable highlights in the first two weeks of the season were made by Eagles players.

Queensland’s Chikafuji First Player in ULB History to Hit for the Cycle

10/09/1937 – 2B Katsunan Chikafuji had a career day in the Eagles’ 9-5 win over the Braeland City Monarchs at Kings Park, becoming the first player in ULB history to hit for the cycle. In the process of collecting 4 hits and 3 RBIs, Chikafuji tripled in the 1st inning, hit a two-run home run in the 4th, singled in the 6th and had a RBI double in the 7th.

Terry Aspden Has a Field Day Against the Stratford Barons

10/13/1937 – The Eagles have been lighting it up here in the early going of the 1937 season and that was nowhere more apparent than in their 23-8 shellacking of the Stratford Barons. Leading the way offensively for the Eagles was CF Terry Aspden, who went 4 for 5 at the plate, collecting 2 runs, 1 BB and 8 RBIs. In the 4th inning, Aspden hit a 3-run triple, followed by a 3-run home run in the 5th. His night was capped off with a 2-run single in the 8th. It’s no surprise to anyone that Terry won Player of the Week honours in the Eastern League, as he averaged .632 this past week, with 12 hits in 19 at-bats, 1 home run and 9 RBIs.
