Brooks Play Tonight At Finch Field
The Thomasville Tommies, on a seven game win streak after a strong last week, host Mooresville at Finch Field tonight. Manager Rex Bowen plans to start Montsinger, a right handed pitcher, with Frank DeFrank replacing Brother Noah in left field as Noah goes to armed service. DeFrank’s two week leg absence and the team's push for fourth place frame the matchup as the Tommies sit four and a half games out of cellar and three behind fifth place Mooresville. Lexington sits nine games ahead in fourth.
