May 1965:
The month of May started on a very high note indeed, especially when the Brewers put a complete drubbing on the Brooklyn Aces, 18-1, at the Brooklyn Grounds on May 4th. Young second baseman, Tanner Yurek, led the attack with a 4-4 day in which he clubbed 4 HR's, driving in 7 of the Brewer's runs.
Unfortunately, the month ended with a thud, as the Brewers dropped 12 of the last 16 games to finish the month at 14-18.
Their season record at that point was 21-25 and they had fallen to 7th place in the MGL, now 10 games behind the 1st place L.A. Spinners.
(Note: preseason predictions had the Spinners finishing a solid 4th with 88 wins, but at this stage of the season they looked quite a bit better than that.)
