Monday, August 21st, 1871: Week's Premier Performer Honored by EA
There's nothing like being in the prime of your baseball career -- and playing like it. Just ask Bill Sturgill, the Washington left fielder, who swung a sweet bat all week to not only aid his team, but also pick up the Eastern Association Player of the Week honors.

Sturgill piled up 14 hits in 28 at-bats, no home runs and 4 RBIs while hitting .500.

Sturgill is currently hitting at a .393 pace with 3 home runs and 88 RBIs.
Monday, August 21st, 1871: Hell-on-Wheels Hurler Named WA Player of the Week
Rookie jitters had no place in John Bauer's game last week as the 26-year-old Cheyenne pitcher propelled himself to the Western Association Player of the Week award.

He posted 3 wins, 4 strikeouts and a 1.13 ERA last week.

This season Bauer has a 19-22 mark in 56 starts with a 4.59 ERA. He has given up 459 hits in 310 innings, struck out 20 and issued 50 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .311 batting average against him.
Sunday, August 20th, 1871: Nevin Smacks 5 Hits for Seals
On top of the San Francisco hit parade today was Jack Nevin. He went to the plate 5 times and marched away with 5 hits, sparking the Seals to a 15-13 victory over the Oakland Prospectors. He certainly had their number at the plate in this record-making 5-5 performance.

The sweet swinging catcher told reporters, "Each time I went to the plate, I was thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere. When I focus on that, I usually have quality at-bats."

The skipper of the Prospectors wailed to the press, "Too much plate. Not the way we planned it. Any hitter in the league will rip you when you do that."

J. Nevin hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th and doubled in the 8th.

This season Nevin is swinging the bat at a .258 rate with 23 hits in 89 at-bats. To date he has hit 1 home run, scored 16 runs and driven in 17.
