24-23 (4th in Div)


We had a pretty good first half of the month, at 21-13, but then we had a double dose of the (Real Champion) Reds, first-place Expos and the second-place Braves. We went 3-10 against the trio.

The bats cooled down considerably, a key member of that was Tony Phillips (.185/2/8). Pitching for the month was much better (despite 16 runs allowed in the final 2 games), with Sid Fernandez leading the charge (4-0 1.43 ERA)
