Pittsburgh's Moore named Batter of the Month

The American League's best player of the month was Chicago (A)'s Pinky Whitney, who wins the award for the 1st time in his career. Pinky pounded opposing pitchers, hitting .404 with 3 and 16 RBI while slugging .623. His season numbers are: .305 AVG, 81 hits, 22 doubles, 8 triples and 3 homeruns, along with 29 RBI and 53 runs scored. Pittsburgh's third baseman Terry Moore had some reason to celebrate as well, as the league named him the National League Batter of the Month. Terry pounded opposing pitchers, hitting .453 with 5 and 26 RBI while slugging .779. Terry has gone 93 for 245 (.380) this season, hitting 9 taters and driving in 55 runs. He has scored 53 runs on his own. He's 1st in the National League in batting, 6th in homeruns and 2nd in RBI.

Arky Vaughan collects 2000th hit against Philadelphia (A)

PHILADELPHIA (A) - New York (A)'s shortstop Arky Vaughan already had some highlights in his career, and today he added another one, getting his 2000th career hit. Along with his 2000 hits, Arky collected 79 homeruns and 773 RBI in 10 seasons. 'My firends always told me that I will do it one day. I never believed it. Good that I was wrong!' He hit a single in the 3rd off Early Wynn for number 2000.

Chicago (A)'s Johnny Pesky has great day with six hits

PHILADELPHIA (A) - Johnny Pesky is among the best pure hitters in the game, but his 6 hit performance seemed to surprise even himself. His 1st hit was a double off Al Javery in the 1st inning. A RBI triple off Jack Hallett in the 6th inning, accounted for his 5th hit. He had singles in the 2nd (one RBI) , in the 3rd inning , in the 4th inning (one RBI) and in the 9th inning (one RBI). Johnny scored 2 runs, and he collected 4 RBI as well! This season has been a good one for him so far, as he has 54 hits in 159 at bats, resulting in a .340 batting average. Chicago (A) improved its record to 29-31, scoring 21 runs on 27 hits.

Philadelphia (N)'s Wyse severely injured

PHILADELPHIA (N) - Philadelphia (N) is without its right-hander Hank Wyse for at least 7 weeks. He injured himself while throwing a pitch to Andy Cohen in a game against St. Louis (N). His face showed signs of pain immediately after the ball left his hand. Doctors examined him after the game and diagnosed a Ruptured Tricep Tendon which will require surgery. This season Wyse compiled an ERA of 4.32, going 3-2 in 6 starts. He fanned 28 while giving up 51 hits in 50 innings.
