The Beaneaters suffered a blow to their line-up during the month after seeing Centre Fielder Chief Roseman sidelined during the month. He will be missing for 8 weeks with a strained oblique.
While the team has started well the individual performances of the players have not showed quite as well. The star we will highlight this month is pitcher Tony Mullane. Mullane started 9 games and picked up 6 wins. He pitched 82.1 innings to give up 73 hits and 25 earned runs for an ERA of 2.73.
