As expected, the Cannons evened up the series, so the best of seven has now turned into a best of three. Will the home teams continue to win every game? I know Minutemen fans hope so!

Pitchers
Danny Hern (STL): 13-13, 87 ERA+, 88 K, 4.3 WAR
Dean Astle (BOS): 5-2, 151 ERA+, 22 K, 1.5 WAR
Tom Barrell (PIT): 2-4, SV, 92 ERA+, 21 K, -0.5 WAR
Mike Murphy (DET): 6-7, 87 ERA+, 20 K, 1.2 WAR

Totals
Hitters: 31.9
Pitchers: 13.1
Total: 45
Approximate Wins: 68

Low totals this season because of all the service guys, so I used some replacement players denoted with *. Without these, we would have had just 50 wins, with 7 missing roster spots plus injuries to Hunter, Langton, Astle, and Parker. Even with the additions, this Cougar team vastly underperformed the real one, with just 68 wins which would have had us tied for 6th with the Stars. There are a lot less Cougar draftees playing then usual, with a lot of the talented ones off at war.

Offseason Moves for 1943
Replace Phil English with Sam Hodge
Replace Fred Barrell with Solly Skidmore

Notable Prospects/Picks Traded
October 1942: Traded C Solly Skidmore, 2B Ossie Grogan, and RHP Mel Haynes to the Chiefs for 3B Hank Barnett
July 1943: Traded LHP Oliver Allen, RHP Pinch Lenhart, RHP Harry Stewart, and LHP Leo Hayden to the Kings for LHP Art White
July 1943: Traded RHP Joe Crosby and 1B Adolph Jacobson to the Foresters for CF Dan Fowler
July 1943: Traded RHP Ira Hawker to the Dynamos for LHP Frank Crawford

Debating whether I will do an End of the Season review or not, so either that or our eventual offseason top prospect list will come next unless we can work a trade. A few things in the works, as always, but not sure anything will materialize until after the season ends. Hopefully that will be Monday, as I can't wait for the offseason to kick off. It's been far too long since the Cougars have taken home a title!
