KCB 0 3 0
CIN 2 7 2
W: Johnny Vander Meer 2-0
L: Elden Auker 1-2
POG: Johnny Vander Meer W, CG, SHO, 3 H, BB, K
Attendance: 19,996

One of the most dominating starts I've seen this season. Vander Meer just kept throwing strikes and the Blues kept hitting them to the outfielders. Both starters were fabulous, but Vandy just was on another plane today.

BRO 5 12 0
COL 4 9 0
W: Hugh Casey 2-2
L: Marv Breuer 0-3
HR: Augie Galan (1), Orestes Minoso (1)
POG: Gene Mauch 4-4, 2 R, 2 RBI, 3B
Attendance: 18,244

Minoso does it again! On a day when Johnny Allen could not throw a strike (that he only walked 5 says a lot about the Clipper bats) the Dodgers needed a boost. Minoso gave that boost. See CIE regular thread for more details.

BAL 1 7 0

W: Sal Maglie 2-1
L: Phil Marchildon 1-1
POG: Sal Maglie W, CG, 7 H, R, 2 BB, K
Attendance: 18,190

If Maglie pitches like this all the time, the Millers have someone to build around. The former Giants farmhand (and pre-majors Miller) continued his pitching excellence. The averages have been falling for my guys, we need to string some hits together.

SLS 4 10 0
POR 9 16 0
W: Dick Barrett 3-0
L: Dale Jones 0-2
HR: Skeeter Newsome (1)
POG: Jimmy Fitzpatrick 3-5, R, 3 RBI, K, 2B
Attendance: 13,760

The Beavers start another streak, bouncing back with a huge output against the Saints. Barrett could have been better, but this offense forgives a lot of mistakes.

OAK 3 11 0
SAC 7 12 0
W: Mike Garcia 1-1
L: Stubby Overmire 0-3
POG: Ernie Lombardi 3-5, R, 2 RBI
Attendance: 12,789

One day Mike Garcia will be (hopefully) a very good pitcher. Right now, he's good enough, at least with this offense behind him. Eddie Lake with 3 RBI was the other big bat for the Salons. Overmire was going good, and Casey thought he might have an ace at last. Oaks need to do something or they will be way down the roster of PCL clubs at years end.

HOL 4 6 2 13th
SDP 5 9 2
W: Sid Peterson 1-0
L: Tot Pressnell 0-1
POG: Ed Lopat 9 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 2 K
Attendance: 22,858

Heartbreaker for the Stars: After watching plucky Vince Cressio hit and run the Stars into the lead, Rube Melton has a Rube Meltdown. In extras, Mace Brown works into and out of not one, but two bases loaded jams-only to have Tot Pressnell's wild pitch set up the winning run. The Stars have fallen into 6th place, with the thought to have been powerful offense still trying to get going.

MIL 3 10 0
BOS 0 1 1
W: Fred Sanford 1-1
L: Harry Perkowski 0-3
POG: Fred Sanford W, CG, SHO, H, BB, K, 1-4, R, 2B
Attendance: 28,350

Pete Fox's 5th inning single is all that came between Fred Sanford engraving his name on that list of no-hit pitchers. Perkowski has been the weak link in the Sox rotation, but he should expect to win if he throws as well as he did. Hit hard, yes, but no walks frustrated the Brave hitters.

LAL 1 5 1
CLE 8 9 1
W: Jim Bagby Jr. 2-0
L: Ray Starr 0-2
POG: Jim Bagby Jr W, CG, 5 H, R, 4 BB, 5 K
Attendance: 20,743

Another wild Lancer pitcher leads to many opponent runs on this day. The Indians coupled extra base hits (6 on the day) for 5-run rally to blow the game wide open.

SFS 3 10 3
NYG 1 4 0
W: Johnny Sain 2-1
L: Dave Koslo 2-1
HR: Goody Rosen (1)
POG: Johnny Sain W, CG, 4 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 1-4, RBI
Attendance: 28,013

Johnny Sain could win 20 games for this club, and we might not win 50 this season. This is his second straight start with no earned runs; back-to-back errors lead to the only Giant run of the day. The Seals win their first ever series, on the road no less, and head back to Frisco to take on the Cubs to start a stretch of divisional play.

The Seals play Milwaukee and Saint Louis in the coming set of games. Both of those teams are behind us-hard to believe I know-and we could make steps toward a better than expected finish with some solid ball.

SLC 5 8 4
PHI 8 7 0
W: Cy Blanton 1-2
L: Lou Kretlow 0-3
HR: Nick Etten (1), Johnny Hopp (1)
POG: Nick Etten 2-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB, HR
Attendance: 32,978

Embarrassing effort from the Cardinals on all fronts. The offense did get going late, but down 8-0 is not the time to start hitting. One must start before that point. Blanton came in with an ERA over 10 and kept the Cardinals down until the 7th.

DET 6 13 1
PIT 1 7 1
W: Dizzy Trout 2-1
L: Johnny Lanning 0-2
POG: Dizzy Trout W, CG, 7 H, R, 2 BB, 2 K, 3-4, R, 2 RBI
Attendance: 17,816

Whenever Trout and Newhouser are on the hill, the Kitties have a great chance to win. Baker doesn't have to worry about dipping into his questionable pen and can usually find enough runs to win. Are two arms enough to win a division? As weak as the west is, it may very well be.
