only 20 Both losses were by a Single run Even before the Napanee scries In which Rockwood banged out 38 hits in three games three regulars Vic Harry Barber and Jim Thatcher and parttimer John Thatcher were sporting lusty batting averages led the team with Barber was second with 333 but first in base hits with and Jim Thatcher was third with 309 Although he had been used sparingly young John Thatcher had collected hits in trips to the plate for an enviable 348 average The overall Rockwood team average was a figure that most major league clubs would be ready any time to barter for The team had hammered 24 home runs a new record including five by Dan Arbic and four by Jim Thatcher Whenever the hitters have bogged down which hasnt been often John Salmon and Bob Shaw have silenced enemy bats with an assortment of blazing fastballs and hard to hit curves and risers Up to and including Sunday nights win over each had accounted for of the Rockwood wins in regular season and playoff
