We sandwiched a four game win streak with two losses to improve to a mediocre 6-7 on the Spring. Thankfully, no injuries again, and that's all that really matters at this point. Pete got into four games, was 0-1 with a pair of saves, and allowed 5 hits, 3 runs, and 2 walks with 8 strikeouts in 6.1 innings pitched. I'm loving the strikeout numbers and he walked far less hitters this week compared to last. I was debating giving him another start, but I like how frequently he's being used out of the pen. Pug and Morse were near perfect again, both tossing 4 inning shutouts with no walks. Pug allowed 4 hits and struck out 2 while Morse allowed 2 hits and struck out 3. The 34-year-old Chicagoan has been lights out, just 3 hits in 8 flawless frames. Milt Fritz tossed a 4 hit shutout as well after a rough first start, scattering 4 hits with a single strikeout. Rankin was roughed up a bit, 7 hits, and 2 runs with a walk and strikeout, but I think he struggles knowing he can't go all nine like he'd prefer. Harry Parker was teed off of, 8 hits and 6 runs (5 earned) despite striking out 5. Since he won't be fighting for a rotation spot, I'll send him to the pen for the rest of the week to potentially get more outings. Bill Kline put in 5 strong innings with just 2 hits to pick up a win after Morse's start. Cal Knight and Sam Hodge both tossed three scoreless while Chet Peacock allowed 4 hits, a walk, and a run in 5 good innings. John Hartz is the only pitcher on to throw yet, so he'll start this weeks opener.

The bats started to heat up, especially Ray Ford, who followed up a strong first week with a 8-for-13 week. He doubled three times, homered, scored three times, and drove in four. Carlos Montes was 7-for-16 with a triple, homer, run, two steals, and two RBI's. Leo Mitchell was 7-for-15 with a pair of solo homers while Ivan Cameron was 3-for-10 with a double, two homers, and 4 RBI's. Johnny McDowell hit well again, 4-for-10 with a pair of runs scored and didn't make an error at second. Doc Love only had nine at bats, but made them count with a pair of doubles and singles. Not many of the back of the bench reserves got in this week, but just emergency catcher Lave Young is left with out a PA while six others have just one. I'm keeping everyone in camp for now, but I might make a cut or two next week. Opening Day will be next week, and I just cannot wait!
