Notes

• Marty Grahahm's strike-out at-bat in his game versus the Statesmen was the first strikeout by a member of the Knight's rotation all season (game 21).
• Of the top ten hitting streaks in the first half of the season, Tim Murnane had two 6-game streaks.
• Of the top ten streaks of players simply getting on base, Matt Broderick has two of them (10 and 8 games) and Ed Crane has two (8 each time).
• Lester Wentzell reached base in his first 18 games this season
• The return of Boston Clippers RHP Jim Stanley (1-0 2.00 ERA) has relegated Tom McGuire (1-3 3.48 ERA) to the bullpen.
• Stanley return was tarnished by a medical emergency of mid-reliver Tommy Bond, and line-up staples McCarthy, Tenney, Butler. McCarthey was missing from the line-up recently, but the extended time listed for Tenney and Butler puts the Clippers in a tough spot.
