We couldn't go 3-3 this week, so we did the only thing better, 3-4! Now 9-10 for the Spring, we have just five games left, and I started sending a few bats down, keeping all the arms in camp to hopefully keep the pitchers rested, healthy, and happy. Steve Mountain, Cuno Myer, Bill Dickens, Stu Johnson, Calvin Brown, Vince York, Harry Schaad, Tom Taylor, and Aaron Ward all reported back to Milwaukee, leaving us with 44 players on the active roster. 20 more will leave before Opening Day, but we still have a little time before that happens.

Jim Lonardo made a pair of starts this week, both lasting 4 innings, while allowing 4 hits and 3 runs (2 earned) with 2 strikeouts. Joe Schnell was busy out of the pen, 7.2 innings with 6 hits, 3 runs, a walk, and a strikeout. Grover Donahue went 5 in his relief outing, 2 hits, a run, and 2 walks to his credit. Billy Lebeau went 4.2, allowing 5 hits with a walk and strikeout. Milt Fritz had a nice start, just a hit with 4 strikeouts in his 4 innings. Harry Parker looked good too, 4 hits and a run in his 4 innings. Peter the Heater finally had more strikeouts (3) then walks (2) and allowed just a single hit and run. Dick Lyons had a bit of a rough outing, 6 hits, 4 runs (2 earned), a walk, and a strikeout in his start. Eddie Quinn left his start after just one pitch due to back tightness, but he's fine for his next start. Walker Pearce went 4.1 innings with 3 hits, a walk, and an unearned run.

Leon Drake will miss a game with a back spasm, ending a tough week where he finished 3-for-17 with a homer and 2 RBIs. Leo Mitchell was 6-for-17 with a walk and solo homer. John Lawson was ice cold, 2-for-15 with an RBI, 2 runs, and 2 walks. Same for Ollie Page, who was 1-for-14 with a double and 2 RBIs. Freddie Jones also struggled, 2-for-13 with 3 RBIs, as did Aart MacDonald, who was 1-for-12. Billy Hunter was 4-for-11 with a double, Orlin Yates 4-for-10 with a triple, and Rich Langton 3-for-10, but a lot of the bats were not up to par in our losing week. Ray Ford did well, 3-for-7 with 3 runs and 4 walks, but no one else with 10 PAs really did much of anything. I think they are saving their hits for the regular season!
