Sunday, September 13th, 1936: Monterrey Loses Rocky Cuchillo
It took the Monterrey team doctor a while to realize it, but center fielder Rocky Cuchillo won't simply play through a pinched nerve after he got hurt making a defensive play in today's Aguilas-Industriales game. At first, it looked like Cuchillo might be back as early as tomorrow, but now the prognosis isn't quite so good; he's expected to miss at least one week. A spokesman for the club described the loss of Cuchillo as a blow, but was confident that he'd be back soon.

This year Cuchillo has hit at a .286 pace and produced 55 RBIs, 6 home runs and scored 94 runs.

Tuesday, September 1st, 1936: Great Month for TEX Rookie
The South made the official announcement today. The Rookie of the Month trophy went to Montego Aragn of Monterrey. He was singled out as the premier rookie in August.

Last month the 26-year-old Industriales catcher played in 19 games and hit .395 with 1 double, no triples and no home runs. Aragn also scored 5 times and drove in 5 runs.

So far this season Aragn has gotten 22 hits in 74 at-bats for a .297 batting average with no home runs. His stats include 9 RBIs and 8 runs scored. He has played in 42 games.

Sunday, August 30th, 1936: Fergoso Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits
5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game and you get your moment of glory...your 5 minutes of fame...you get your name in the record book. Win or lose you get listed.

Gregory Fergoso got his name in the record book, but the Beaumont Exporters picked up the win, topping the Monterrey Industriales 11-6.

"Sure, I would have much preferred to win the game, but that's not how it came out. In baseball you win some, lose some and some get rained out," the Monterrey second baseman expressed his feelings during the postgame press conference.

He certainly did his part today, pounding out hit after hit.

Later in the clubhouse Fergoso spoke further about his big game, "To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got too much adrenaline going when I realized that this was a special once-in-a-lifetime day. On the last hit, I was ready to swing at anything close, I was that excited. That's why my third base coach called time and told me, 'Calm down and wait for a good pitch.' That got me back on track and I nailed the first one in the strike zone."

On his record-setting day Fergoso delivered 5 hits in 5 at-bats, a day that will be good scrapbook material.

G. Fergoso singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off C. Gorrindo in the 8th.

So far in 1936, Fergoso is batting .275 with 12 home runs and 53 RBIs.
