 | Monday, June 26th, 1961: St. Louis Second Baseman Out
Watching David Carrillo getting helped off the field today at Gateway Ballpark, fans of the St. Louis Dredgers feared the worst. The news wasn't quite as bad as initially feared, but the second baseman will miss 2 weeks with a damaged meniscus. "We feel we've dodged a bullet. When you see a guy break down like that, you worry right away," a team spokesman said. Carrillo suffered the injury running the bases in the game against the Golden Gators.
For the year Carrillo is batting .280 with 51 hits and 5 home runs. He has scored 27 times and driven in 21. |
