The week wrapped up with the April 3, 1924 Humboldt Standard reporting that, “More than a million and a half feet of redwood lumber was shipped from (local ports) during the month of March. In addition, some Douglas fir was shipped, a quantity of shingles and some redwood ties.”
When Trey Mancini's single scored Seiya Suzuki from third base in the seventh inning Wednesday afternoon, the Cubs were 6 outs away from doing something that had done only once before, nearly 100.
The Cubs' 1-0 victory over the Braves on Friday was their 251st by that smallest possible score since the Modern Era began in 1901.
They won twice by 1-0 in the post season, in Game 4 of the 1906.
Jonathan Villar's single at Pittsburgh on April 13 made him the fifth Cubs newcomer this season to make a hit.
When 5 more do so, the total count will be 1,500 different players who have made hits.
