Week 1Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/standings.htmlHighlights: Toledo's Bob Friend pitched an 11 inning gem only to get a no decision against the Senators on 4/5. The Hens and Senators were tied at 1 into the 13th when Toledo scored the game winning run on a 1 out single by Yogi Berra, scoring Jim Landis. Jim Bunning picked up where he left off in 1957, pitching a 3 hitter on 4/2 with 10 K's in a 2-0 victory over New Orleans. The strong starting pitching has the Hens off to a good start. Denver's Earl Torgeson is red hot to start the season, crushing 5 HRs and 10 RBIs in the Pelicans first week of the season. 4 teams are tied at the top of the standings at 4-2 followed by 5 more teams at 3-3.

Week 2Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/standings.htmlHighlights: New Orlean's Bob Nieman smacked 3 HR against Charleston on 4/8 in a 6-5 victory over the Senators. Neiman's last HR came in the top of the 13th to give the Pelicans the lead and the win. Denver's Early Wynn whiffed 12 Hollywood Stars on the 12th to earn his first W of the season. Denver (5-8), and Wynn (1-3), are off to a rough start this year, not the typical beginning for the decade leading Bears. Louisville's Gus Triandos is on fire, with 9 HR and 19 RBI in his last 10 games. Triandos had 12 hits in that span, 9 of them left the yard. Toledo's Curt Simmons has 3 wins and 2 saves in 1 start and 5 relief appearances. Daily Recaps and League File - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/leaguefiles/Week_02.zip

Hollywood's Earl Battey (4/14) and Vada Pinson (4/18), and Indianapolis' Ernie Banks (4/16).

The Say Hey Kid is also working on a 19 game hitting streak. Charleston's Roy Face is throwing darts with the leagues best 0.93 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in 19 IP in relief.

The game was tied at 0-0 after 13, when the Colonels finally were able to push a runner across the plate on 2 errors by 1B Leon Wagner (who was forced into duty at 1st base due to an injury to Stan Musial). In the bottom of the 14th the Gold Sox struck back on a 2 out single by Albie Pearson to tie the game 1-1. Finally, in the top of the 16th, Louisville went ahead for good on a sacrifice fly by Don Zimmer and a 1-2-3 inning by Roger Craig in the bottom of the inning to secure the game.

Hillman allowed 3 BBs in addition to the lone hit, lowering his season ERA to under 3.97.

Charleston is 3rd in overall pitching and 23-26 in attempts to take the extra base. Montreal has been bringing the big lumber to the plate with 75 HRs, 18 more that the next highest team total.

Week 8Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/standings.htmlHighlights: Lot's of offense this week, and a little bit of pitching as well. Kansas City and Denver teamed up in a terrific 16 inning game on May 20th, with the Blues coming out on top 4-3. Denver had plenty of chances to score, but the Blues delivered quality pitching in the clutch, stranding 15 Bears. Juan Pizarro pitched a strong 11 innings for the Blues, chalking up 13 Ks in 11 innings. On the 24th, Toledo rang up 20 hits and 14 runs against Denver, only to be outdone later in the day by Chattanooga who plated 16 runs on 21 hits against Amarillo. Mickey Mantle went 6-6 for Chattanooga with 3 HR, 9 RBI, 2 SB, and 4 RS, the definition of a career day.

Week 11Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/standings.htmlHighlights: Denver's Ted Williams has 7 HR and 15 RBI in his last 9 games. Injuries are keeping Williams off of the leader boards, having missed 24 games already this season. Louisville's Gus Triandos has launched 5 HR in his last 6 games and has hurdled Indianapolis' Ernie Banks for the HR lead. Toledo's Paul Foytack is logging lots of impressive innings, with 12 CGs in 16 GS, and a 1.79 ERA. Foytack's ERA would be big news in other seasons, but this year the attention is focused on Louisville's Barry Latman and his 1.27 ERA in 71 IP. Latman had a 0.75 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 48 innings in the historical 1958 season. Daily Recaps and League File - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/leaguefiles/Week_11.zip

Week 13Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/standings.htmlHighlights: Louisville's Sam Jones recorded his 2nd 14 K performance, a back to back performance against the Lookouts. This time Jones went 11 innings to record the win, with the GWRBI coming on a 2 run blast from Don Zimmer. Beaumont is rallying to try to claim a playoff spot, winning 8 out of their last 10 and bouncing back from their early July 9 game losing streak. The Exporters have scored double digits 5 times in the recent 8-2 streak, led by Gus Zernial and Hank Aaron who have combined for 24 RBI. Kansas City's Bob Turley is shining for the Blues, going 4-0 in his last 4 starts, allowing a single run in each of the last 3.

Week 14Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1958/standings.htmlHighlights: Montreal's Wes Covington is tearing the cover off of the ball, getting 12 hits in his last 23 ABs and driving in 9 runs. Covington and the rest of the heart of the Royals lineup ( Eddie Mathews, Rocky Covalito, Roy Sievers) have helped Montreal into second place in the standings table. Charleston may be faced with some adversity in the upcoming 2 weeks, losing their gold glove candidate SS, Roy McMillan, to a 15 game injury. The Sens will be relying on light hitting and poor fielding Ossie Alvarez to hold the middle of the infield together. Beaumont's Hank Aaron has averaged more than 2 RBI/game over his last 11 and has pulled within 3 of the league leader, the Indians Ernie Banks. Banks has been cold lately in clutch situations, with only 3 RBI over the same 11 game span allowing Aaron to reel him in.
