| Breaking News |  | Friday, August 17th, 1923: Red-Hot Loucks Scorches Greyhounds
What a day for Scott Loucks of the Warwickshire-2nd-IX Bears! A 5-hit hitting spree! That doesn't happen everyday! He ripped Limavady-2nd-IX pitching apart at Stratford-upon-Avon Ground and sparked the Bears to a 17-1 victory. He wrote his name in the record books, finishing up his special day 5-6.
"I'm usually a first ball hitter," Loucks told SION reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid that."
S. Loucks struck out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a three-run double in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off B. Cueto in the 9th.
Presently Loucks is batting .201 with 3 home runs and 30 RBIs. He has played in 127 games and scored 38 times.

 | Sunday, July 1st, 1923: Harley Dillinger Blanks Northamptonshire-2nd-IX
"Good pitching beats good hitting" is an old baseball adage.
Well, good pitching also beats bad batting.
In his postgame interview the Northamptonshire-2nd-IX manager said, "Harley Dillinger made us look real bad today. He was outstanding. He was down in the zone with all his pitches. Everything was sinking."
Dillinger had 1 strikeout, 5 walks and allowed only 2 hits as the Limavady-2nd-IX Greyhounds whitewashed the Northamptonshire-2nd-IX Steelbacks 4-0.
This season Dillinger has compiled a 2-2 mark with a 4.10 ERA.
