We are hanging in there. And no injuries this week
August 29, 1926
The Kings offense more than made up this week for any concerns I might have had about our pitching. Brooklyn moved back into first place, a game ahead of New York, after going 6-1 during the week - outscoring our opponents 54-20 in the process including a series against Cleveland that saw us score 12 runs in each of the three games with the Foresters.
Leon Campbell pitched two very strong games and ran his record to 12-0 on the season while Cal Williams rebounded from a bad outing a week ago with a complete game 5-hitter in a 3-1 win over Philadelphia that improved his season mark to 15-5.
But it was the offense, led by the bats of middle infielders Lloyd Carter and Rip Agee, that got most of the glory last week. Carter had 14 hits, 7 rbi's and batted .452 last week while his doubleplay partner hit .323 with 7 rbi's.
It is another short week for us as we look to complete a 2-game sweep of Montreal with a contest on Monday. Then we are off until Friday when the New York Stats come to town for two games before finishing at home Sunday against Baltimore. The Baltimore visit is just a 1 game series and then we head into Manhattan for 5 more crucial games against the Stars in 4 days beginning a week from tomorrow.
