Saturday, May 1st , 1937
This month when the Augusta manager wrote the name "Lombardi" on the lineup card, he was confident that he would get a good start out of him. Outing after outing in April Vic Lombardi took command and usually got the win.
He dominated with a 3-1 mark and 1.42 ERA in 5 starts, piling up 38 innings and 52 strikeouts and holding opposing teams to a .187 average.
For his superb performance Lombardi was named the Northern League Pitcher of the Month by the baseball writers. |  | Red-Hot April Lands Colman Batting Prize in South
