The B'Combers are 13-9 at home and 11-10 on the road with a team batting average of .260, 6th in the league and 51 homeruns, second in the league.

The team ERA has improved to 3.82, 5th in the league but the team fielding percentage is just .969, 18th in the league.miami is 4-3 in extra innings and has gonce 2-2 in four extra inning games over their last 12 games.

The wealth in homeruns is reflected by the presence of four Miami players in the top thirteen homerun hoitter in the league. Ricky Hamner and Stan Dietrich have 10, Paul Diehl 9, and Yo-Yo Roberts 6.

The 4-0 shutout of Chicago was the second combined shutout for the pitching staff. No starter has a complete game shutout as of now. The first came on August 20 against the Giants 1-0, and it required the use of five pitchers to get it done; Teddy Figueroa, Fred Mancuso, Bud Packard, Tyler Jarvis, and Van Wagner.

Brener went seven innings gave up five hits and struck out two and Harkness took care of the 8th and 9th innings giving up a single to the first batter he faced then retiring the final six batters, in order.

Miami jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first nning on a walk to George Lipscomb, a Dave Lind single past Siebler, that sent Lipscomb to third base and a sacrifice fly by Paul Diehl.
