HARLEM STUMBLES, MONTGOMERY HOLDS ON
The Knights wrapped up April with a 19-7 record, still holding on to first place by 6.5 games. They are 7-5 in one-run games. Fremont is 13-14, and only one game ahead of Pawtucket and Sahara, who are both knotted at 12-15. Fremont has been enjoying the hot bat of Wally Berger and the excellent pitching of Rube Walberg. Sahara has been buoyed of late by excellent timely hitting, and Pawtucket's pitching corps has turned it around since last season. Even Ed Wells, at 2-0, has matched his win total from last year (he was 2-13).Montgomery's lead fell to .5 but got their lead back up to a game and a half at 15-11. Hattiesburg is 14-13 and are still without Burleigh Grimes, who upon his return will be two wins shy of becoming the third DBS pitcher to reach 50 career wins (George Uhle and Pat Malone reached that landmark earlier this year.) St Louis is only 4 games back at 11-15 despite a horrid 3-10 on the road. Turmoil continues in North Dallas as the 40 appear perched for another rough season. Could the revolving door of personnel or trade rumors be wearing thin on the players? Rumors continue to persist that Carl Hubbell (0-5) could be the next out the door. At this point, the Meal Ticket is only fattening up the batting averages of his opponents.
