Bits From Washington Park Blues Lose Out But Hunter Shines
The Blues host a second series game Thursday and close the visit with a double header Saturday. Hunter beats the ball to first base in an early inning as Love and James add hits. Bierhalter and Cusack provide entertaining umpiring observations. Barbeau and Downey swap infield spots with Barbeau at third and Downey at short. Keene is eyed at first base as potential hitting help. Twelve major league teams reportedly bid for Hunter, who has emerged as an A A star with solid fielding and hard hitting. Hardgrove appears limited to his glove while Brandon shows more versatility. The Blues aim for a strong start and the infield mix promises interest.
