Perkowski struggles as Angels pitcher in PCL pace
The Sporting News notes Harry Perkowski, ex Redlegs and Cubs, films a 4-6 mark with the Los Angeles Angels in the Pacific Coast League. He started for a 7-6 loss to Sacramento on June 5, then twirled seven innings in a 4-3 defeat at San Diego on June 9, and gave up four runs in an 8-3 loss to San Diego the next day. Harold Hoot Rice’s start dwindles to pinch hits, while Walt Craddock stays quiet for Columbus in the International League. Charleston Senators slide after 15 one-run losses, and debate swirls on Mickey Mantle’s home-run chase. A Kentucky rumor targets Kelly Coleman, with skepticism about his college prospects. First basemen appear among top hitters in both leagues, and a four-ball women’s tournament is set for Hot Springs. Pirates host three games against Milwaukee, Cubs this week.
