Dan Brewster and Jim MacKerrow led the ‘Cats in hitting with.292 and.283 averages. The ‘Cats halted a seven game losing streak, which included four losses to A-l North Bend and Marshfield by tripping Pacific 6-4. After being put down by Bandon and and Reedsport, Myrtle Point ripped off four straight wins. First to fall was Coquille as the Red Devils suffered a 6-4 set back. In one of their more impressive games of the season, the 'Cats surprised Gold Beach, 8- 3, for their fourth straight win. Jim MacKerrow clouted two triples in the contest and Pat McCurdy threw a five hitter, while striking out eight. The Bobcats faltered in the second game of the double header and dropped a 4-1 decision. Harold Hartley threw a five hitter, but his teammates could muster only three hits, as the Pointers evened their record at 3-3.
