(July 3) Len Tucker belted a homer and a three-run double
to lead Kamsack to a 5-4 win over the Florida Cubans. The visitors
took a four-run lead in the first inning but were shutout the rest of
the way. Tucker homered in the 7th for the Cyclones' first marker
and tied it in the 8th with his double. Stan Green
scored the winner in the 9th on an error. Steve
Stavrianoudakis registered the win.
(August 16) Grandview Maroons downed Gilbert Plains 6-3 to
win the championship of the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Baseball League.
Dauphin Red Birds held the title in 1951. Despite the defeat, Gilbert
Plains was reported to be justly proud of their team which ended in
first place during the regular season. The local players and
imports Eddie McDonald, Eddie Garay, Rudy
Garcia, Jim Moore and Bob Newton played
a fine brand of ball through the season.
