I have some text that specifies inherited runners in baseball:

 'Hughes, D 2-0, O'Flaherty 2-0, Moylan 1-1'

I want to split on the comma and associate the numbers with that player.  The
problem is that sometimes the player's first initial is used sometimes not.
Is there a clever way to consider the comma part of the name when an initial
is used and a delimiter otherwise?  Thanx
