Monday, September 1st , 1975
The Pitcher of the Month in the Dixie League for August was Jackson's star reliever Dick Duke.
"I was wondering if relievers were even eligible for this thing," Duke joked with reporters. "I guess the voters do know there's actual pitchers down there in the pen."
The Pilots bullpen ace collected no saves and 48 strikeouts in 49 innings, holding the opposition to a .224 average and posting a 2.20 ERA and a 4-2 record.
This year, his stats show Duke has no saves in no relief appearances with a 5-2 record and 2.92 ERA. |  | Cowell Wins DIX's Best Bat Award

That kind of hitting earned him the Dixie League Batter of the Month honors for August.
Cowell is currently batting .236 with 13 home runs and 34 RBIs. | | |
