Pulling Away

A loss in game 2 of the Salt Lake series brought Seattle back to earth for a moment, but it sparked a 6-game winning streak that pushed the division lead to a season-high 8 games.

Completion of Salt Lake Series
Seattle 4, Salt Lake 6
Seattle 9, Salt Lake 7
Seattle 9, Salt Lake 5

No box scores are available for games 2 and 3 of the series.

In game 4, Edward Thompson got his 9th win thanks to big offensive outings from Bob Pollock and Tracy Jones, who each hit home runs, and Jim Stephens, who hit two triples. Generally considered the weaker offensive team, Seattle nonetheless scored 9 runs in 3 of the 4 games in the series.

Twenty-Second Series
Louisville 2, Seattle 3
Louisville 4, Seattle 9
Louisville 1, Seattle 8
Louisville 2, Seattle 3

Ryan Carson picked up a complete-game win, his 14th win of the season, and the Rainiers won despite being outhit 8-4. Randall Adams had two of those hits, a double and a homer, and Stephen Kent pitched in a longball as well, knocking off Louisville ace Cole Reiff.

Nines were wild once again, as the Rainiers put 6 on the board in the 3rd inning to complete their scoring. David Wheeler went the distance this time, earning his 12th win, and even went 2-4 at the plate. Dan Vincent hit a 3-run double as part of that 6-run 3rd, and backup catcher Luis Garcia hit a 3-run homer.

Another big outing for Michael Hawks in game 3. He allowed a 1st inning single to Morgan Barnes, and then didn't allow another hit the entire game, walking 4 and striking out 6 for his 14th win. Randy Davies hit a solo shot and Travis Murphy a 3-run bomb to support the fantastic outing.

Edward Thompson keeps rolling along, going to 10-1 with 7.2 strong innings, striking out 7 and allowing 5 hits. Since getting roughed up by Buffalo on June 3rd, Thompson has won 9 straight decisions and has lowered his ERA to 3.55.

July 9, 1950
Sim Record: 6-1
Overall Record: 64-29, 8 games in front of Salt Lake. After we took 3 of 4 against Salt Lake, the Strikers dropped two of four to San Francisco, which enabled us to extend the division lead.

Still behind on sim reports, so I don't have Top Hitter and Top Pitcher news. This regular feature will return when I'm caught up.
