We managed to stop the bleeding by salvaging the final game of the series at the Gothams. The win stops a six-game skid and we
are still 11 games back and now tied with Pittsburgh for third behind Detroit and St. Louis. Something is brewing as GM Herb
DeSpain has locked himself in his office and refuses to talk to the press. Rumors are he's on the phone with most of the Continental
teams but no one knows who he's peddling. "A lot of guys on this team think they are untouchable but when you play as poorly as we
just did...that's just not true." said assistant GM Antonio Mendoza.
Player of the Series
SP Vern Osbourne
Veteran Osbourne allowed just two runs in 7.2 innings pitched earning the only win of the series and leading the Chiefs to their first win in a week.
It was his eighth win in thirteen decision for the 1962 season lowering his ERA to 5.01. "It's been a tough year for the starters," Osbourne told
reporters after the game. "We don't like being the negative focus of the press or the fans but we have to pitch better if we want that to change."
