Something I haven't mentioned yet, is the very first professional ballplayer who was born in Coatesville!

Doc Amole


Doc Amole was born on Friday, July 5, 1878, in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Amole was 19 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 19, 1897, with the Baltimore Orioles.

Morris George "Doc" Amole (July 5, 1878 – March 9, 1912) was a professional baseball player who career spanned nine season, including parts of two in Major League Baseball with the Baltimore Orioles (1897) and the Washington Senators (1898). On both occasions, Amole was the youngest player in the National League at the age of 18 and 19, respectively. Over his major league career, Amole comiled a record of 4–10 with a 4.75 earned run average (ERA) and 30 strikeouts in 18 games, 12 starts. In those 12 starts, 10 were complete games. Amole also played in the minor leagues with the Class-A Wilmington Peaches (1896), the Class-B Reading Actives (1897), the Class-A Buffalo Bisons (1898–1903) and the Class-A Providence Grays (1903–1904). Over his career in the minors, Amole compiled a record of 108–137 in 227 games. As a member of the American League Buffalo Bisons in 1900, a year before the league turned major, Amole threw a no-hitter against the Detroit Tigers.


Games 1 & 2 - So the Aces welcomed the Berwick Slaters for a three game set at Ash Park. And after splitting the first two games, winning 2-1 as Mark Davis got his sixth win, but had to leave the game after the 5th inning, due to a calf strain, the Aces dropped game two, 7-6, as Denny White loses for the 5th time.

Game 3 - The Aces jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the second inning, and then scored a franchise eight runs in the fourth, enroute to a 16-1 win! Dale Roberson went 3 for 3, including a home run, and Juan Aguilar picked up his sixth win!



The Aces traveled to Lebanon to take on the Chix, and game one would finish up the month of May, and the team went out on a high note, beating the Chix's 11-6. Victor Alvarado picked up his 5th win, and the bats stayed hot, as the Aces pounded out 15 hits.

So, as the month of May comes to a close, this is how the standings look, with the Aces in the top spot in the National Conference East!
