By DAVID BULLA *
Chronicle Sports Editor
The highlight last week for the
Winston-Salem Spirits was Carl
Hamilton's sixth straight win, a
5-1 decision over Durham
Wednesday night.

slowed the Bulls, who had moved
within 1 Vi games of the Spirits in
the Carolina Leagye Southern
Division's first-half pennant
race.
After losing his first two starts
and owning a horrendous 29.25
earned run average, Hamilton
Has been the toughest piicher in_
the league. All six of his victories
came in May, when he posted a
0.41 ERA with five complete
games and three shutouts. Two
of the wins were one-hitters.
Now the left-hander's ERA for
the season stands at a very respectable
2.61.
The week started with a pair of
losses tp the Bulls before
Hamilton and Jamie Moyer
threw back-to-back complete
game wins, ivioyer is as almost as
hot as Hamilton. He beat Salem
4-2, running his record to 5-0 in
May with a 1.77 ERA. The righthander,
who leads the team with
81 strikeouts, threw four complete
games.
The statistic that tells just how
strong Winston-Salem's starters
have been is 16 completes games.
Meanwhile, relievers have made
only 9 saves.
Other noteworthy events included
Don Bethel's first setback
of the season, a 3-2 loss at Salem
Saturday. Dave Martinez, the
league's top hitter with a .364
average, stole three bases in one
game . He leads the Spirits with
14 thefts.
Drew Hall pitched four hitless
innings of relief for Chicago in
the Cubs' exhibition with triple-A
Iowa on Thursday. Hall was the
Cubs' first-round pick in last
summer's draft.
Spirit Transactions
The Cubs parted company with
left-hander Jim Boudreau, who
was dealt to the double-A
Charlotte Orioles.
Boudreau had a 7.07 ERA and '
a 0-3 record for Winston-Salem.
His last outing came may 27,
when he issued a game-winning
two-run homer to Durham's
Dave Griffin.
Griffin wasn't exactly being a
good neighbor. He and Boudreau
grew up two blocks apart in their
native Chicago.
