Another 4-2 week for the Cougars, so now just us and the Cannons are atop the Continental Association. Ken Matson more-or-less secured his roster spot, making an impressive 5.2 inning start. He allowed 3 hits, a run, and a walk with 2 strikeouts. He was one of three pitchers who managed 5 innings, with both Jim Lonardo and Joe Brown allowing 2 in 5. Lonardo allowed 4 hits and 3 walks while Brown allowed 3 hits, a run, and a walk with 2 strikeouts. Johnnie Jones looked a million times better this time, going 4 innings with 5 hits, a run, walk, and strikeout. Dick Lyons had a near identical outing, just with one extra strike out. Unfortunately Harry Parker had a terrible start, charged with 5 hits, 5 runs, and 4 walks without a strikeout in 3.1 innings pitched. I'm not the least bit concerned for Parker, so I guess if it had to happen to someone, better then him instead of Jones or Lyons, who each come with their own concerns. In the pen, Cal Knight may have sabotaged himself, allowing 6 hits, 4 runs, and a walk with a strikeout in 3.2 innings pitched. NRI John Little also hurt himself, allowing 3 hits, 4 runs, and 2 walks in 1.2 innings pitched.

We had a surprising best performer on the offense, with Steve Mountain putting together a huge week. The young catcher went 5-for-11 with a walk and 3 RBI. Hank Barnett and Cliff Moss both went 3-for-10, with Barnett driving in 2, scoring 4, and walking 3 times while Moss walked twice and drove and scored a single run. Freddie Jones went 4-for-9 with a walk and 5 runs. Rich Langton was 4-for-7 with a run, RBI, and 2 walks. It wasn't all great, as Clark Car went just 1-for-11 with a walk, 2 runs, and 2 RBIs. Leo Mitchell was 2-for-11 with a walk and RBI. Orlin Yates went just 1-for-9 with a walk. I'm hesitant to say Billy Hunter had another great week in center, but he still doesn't have an error out in center. He also hit well, 3-for-8 with 2 walks and 2 runs. With Yates hitting just .150/.261/.150, it's looking more and more likely that Billy Hunter will be our Opening Day center fielder.
