News Update

Sandy Koufax was injured during today's win over Detroit, and will be heading to the 15 day disabled list.  Primarily a middle inning reliever, his absence will likely be manageable, however.

Continental League Games April 28th

The Nashville Commodores finally had their home opener - an event delayed by construction at Martin Park.  Jesse Burkett ruined their home opener with a bases loaded triple, knocking in three runs to give Kansas City a 5-4 win.


Detroit's pitching staff showed its strain today, with a weary Dizzy Dean needing to throw a complete game, which allowed Cinci to score 8 runs and win 8-6.  Right now Detroit is working with 5 pitchers total, and will need to struggle for a week until injured pitchers start coming off the DL.


In St. Louis, the River Captains roughed up "Old Hoss" Radbourn for 7 runs and prevailed over the White Bears, 8-7.  All of the River Captains reached on at least one hit.  Roosevelt Davis, who was acquired shortly after the season begun, again pitched will, yielding only a massive solo shot to Ralph Kiner.
