Buffalo Continues Hot Streak
BUFFALO, NY. May 1, 1912 - While Buffalo continues to be the hot team, Joe Soles has arguably been the best individual player so far this season, and it's no surprise that Boston is doing so well because of it. The 30-year-old shortstop is leading the league in average, doubles, and runs batted in.
He kicked off the season with a 10-game hitting streak, and while that has ended, he still has only gone hit-less three times in his 22 games played.
On the mound, Bill Gable, the ace of the Brooklyn staff, has been absolutely terrific. While Brooklyn is 4 1/2 games out of first place, he has done everything asked of him. He's gotten the win in every game he's started, finishing April with a 6-0 record. His 12 strikeouts tie him for first in the league.
