Spring Training: Week 2

A much better second week for the Cougars, as we evened our record at six with a 4-2 week. We did get an injury scare, with Ken Matson suffering a hand contusion, but he looks to be healthy by time his next start will come up. We also shrunk our roster by one, sending Hooks Camp to the Dynamos for a 9th and 11th Round Pick. There is still time for another minor deal or two, but I'm starting to understand how our roster is going to shape out for the start of the season.

We hit better this week, starting with two of our more reliable hitters. Skipper went 5-for-12 with a double and run scored while Leo Mitchell was 4-for-10 with a homer and 3 RBIs. Mike Taylor, Hop Villers, and Orlin Yates all went 3-for-11. Yates double and walked four times while Taylor and Villers each tripled. Hank Barnett was 3-for-6 with a double, 2 homers, and 7 RBIs. Cliff Moss was 3-for-9 with a walk, homer, and 3 RBIs. Rich Langton was 3-for-6 with an RBI. Bob Worley went 4-for-12 with an RBI.

The pitching was decent overall, but Dick Lyons looked 43 today. He went 3 with 8 hits, 4 runs, and a strikeout. Rusty Petrick went 4 with 4 hits and 5 walks. Harry Parker bounced back, just one hit and a strikeout in 4 shutout innings. Art White went 4 with 3 hits, a run, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. Mike Murphy went 4 with 3 hits and an unearned run. Ken Matson left after 3, but allowed 2 hits with a strikeout. Charlie Kelsey threw 3 scoreless with 2 hits, a walk, and a strikeout. Cal Knight and Bill Tuttle each threw two scoreless innings. Lyn Trease was roughed up a bit, 2 hits, 4 runs, and 2 strikeouts in 3 innings. Ed Fisler went 4 with 4 hits, a run, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts.
