Not much luck this week, as we finished just 2-4 and dropped out of first place. We are still a game over .500, which is okay, but since we remained injury-free, I'll take the win. We did manage a pair of 4 inning shutouts, courtesy of Milt Fritz and Harry Parker. Fritz allowed 2 hits and struck out one while Parker allowed 4 hits and struck out two. Cy and Pete both allowed 2 in 4, but Cy allowed 7 hits to Pete's 3 walks and 3 hits. Cal Knight pitched well out of the pen, 7 scoreless with 7 hits, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Roy Carey struck out 2 and allowed 3 hits in 3.2 innings. Jim Miller and Allen Purvis tossed 3 scoreless each, although Miller allowed two hits and walks with three strikeouts. Pug Bryan for some reason went 4.1 instead of just 4, allowing 5 hits, 3 runs, and a walk with 2 strikeouts. This week four guys didn't get any innings, and I decided to trim the roster a little. Heading back to Milwaukee will be Eddie Bloom, Fred Carter, Bob Bliss, and Rusty Watts. 16 pitchers remain in camp, with just four non-roster invitees left on the roster.

Most of our starting hitters struggled, as Ray Ford (4-16) and Freddie Jones (2-8) were the only hitters with more then 10 trips to the plate to hit above .200. Both hit an uninspiring .250, but the best of the other six was just .182. That's not to say no one did any good, as Harry Mead was an outstanding 5-for-7 with a walk, homer, and a pair of runs and RBIs. Ollie Page was 4-for-9 with a double, homer, and two RBIs. John Lawson was 4-for-8 with a homer, walk, two runs, and two RBIs. There were a lot more guys this week to not get an at bat, so again, more roster trimming. Going back to Milwaukee would be Chris Smith, Vince York, Dick Voss, and Bill Dickens. I also had to DFA Ken Wyatt, because I forgot he had a big league deal still. We still have 30 hitters in camp plus Juan Pomales, but most of the guys on hand are there just in case. Still, 19 players including Pomales had five or more PAs this week and Ford's 17 were the most.
