NEW YORK, NY. June 1, 1917 - Despite the number of years he's been in the league, Floyd Bennett still gets excited when he puts together a quality stretch like he had in May. The 33-year-old starter for New York was named United League Player of the Month earlier today.
He collected 6 wins and 2 losses with 54 strikeouts in his 8 starts, putting up a fine 1.56 ERA in 75 innings of work.
So far this year Bennett has a 10-4 record with a 1.37 ERA.
