After dropping two of three to the Eagles we now sit alone in fourth place at 35-29, nine games behind the Fed leading Pioneers and one
game behind the Miners and Dynamos. All four losses this week were by one or two runs and in the last three losses we scored a total of
one run. It's disappointing but we are getting ready to take on the two expansion teams and it couldn't have come at a better time.
We host the Suns for three games before heading to Minnesota to take on the Millers for three more. Once again the starters didn't get
the credit they deserved. Halbur, Champ, and MaGee combined for 8 ER allowed in their 23 innings pitched but didn't see a single win.
Player of the Series
Veteran pitcher Jack Halbur receives the Player of the Series for the three games against Washington for his performance in the
series-opening loss that saw the Chiefs get shut out by a score of 2-0. Halbur did all he could pitching 8.2 innings allowing
just 5 hits and 2 runs. Halbur came to the Chiefs in a trade with Detroit before the 1960 season after winning four championships
with the Dynamos. Coming into the 1962 season he's posted a 25-20 record in Chicago with an ERA around 4.00. He also
recorded one of the team's seven hits in the game.
