- Cherricaw Herders CF Ed DeMent has to leave Saturday’s game after coming up injured on a slide into second base. This morning, the Herders announce that he has been diagnosed with a sports hernia in his hip. DeMent’s return in 1932 is not likely. This will mark the first UA season in which DeMent does not earn the stolen base title. (6/27)
