In Memphis, the Chicks have struggled as they have a short roster and a couple of injuries which have forced them to put their own manager on the roster to fill out a spot basically as a warm body.

A six game homestand against Mobile and Little Rock ended the month of May and began the month of June.

Mobile: 5/27-29

5/27: MOB 11, MEM 4; W: Head (1-0), L: Veverka (1-9); A- 1,557

This game the Bears jumped on Memphis with six first inning runs and never looked back.

5/28: MEM 12, MOB 4; W: Morris (1-0), L: Whitaker (0-2), S: Appleby (1); MOB HR- Calderone (1); A- 418

The Chicks poured it on Mobile on this day, as Trevor Morris, in his first appearance on a mound since he was in Canada, threw 7 2/3 innings, and Memphis had an incredible 23 hits. Bert Hodges had five hits, and five of the first six had at least 3.

5/29: MOB 12, MEM 5; W: Olson (2-0), L: Hanski (0-5); MOB HR: Phillips (1); A- 2,324

Memphis hit six doubles in the game but still lost by seven runs. Thomaier for the Bears had four hits and four RBIs.

Little Rock (5/31-6/2)

5/31: LIR 13, MEM 1; W: Acosta (7-1), L: Mulach (2-6); LIR HR: Hancock (8, GS); A- 2,568

One of the weirder games you'll ever see, as what was a 0-0 game into the 8th inning turned into a blowout as the Travelers put up an incredible 13-run inning. Eighteen batters went to the plate for Little Rock in this inning with 10 getting hits.

6/1: MEM 8, LIR 5; W: McNair (4-5), L: Triner (4-4); HR: MEM- Hodges (1, GS), LIR: Unknown (1); Aickley (1); A- 2,873

After Hancock hit a granny the night before for Little Rock, Hodges answered the bell for the Memphis Chickasaws, hitting one of his own in the 6th inning which turned the game on its ear and provided Memphis enough runs to earn a victory.

6/2: LIR 15, MEM 3; W: Joslin (6-0), L: Morris (1-1); HR: MEM- Deal (4), LIR- Unknown (1); A- 3,089

A difficult loss for Memphis, as they held it to a single run deficit through the first four innings before Little Rock poured things on, scoring 9 runs in the final 3 innings.
