Return of Bill Powell Boosts Charleston Senators
The return of William Powell from Birmingham to the Charleston Senators helps the team on the mound and may draw fans to Watt Powell Park. Powell was a 14 game winner here in 1953 and remains a crowd favorite. The piece notes attendance gaps at home stands and touches on local sports chatter about Alex Hawkins, Bob Bryan moves, Pirates tryouts, and a thank you for Dr Danny Murtaugh after a safeguarding incident involving Anne Rippetoe.
