Charlie Moss, Phil. (36 R 19-22 2.00) vs. John Bendickson, Troy (25 R 12-8 2.23)
Won - 15 to 2
They finally hit one to Rush at shortstop and he forgot how to pick the ball up made made an error. He remembered fast, though, the next one they hit to him he turned into a double play.
John Bendickson with a 2-hitter. That's 6 hits totals allowed in the last two games.
Wash Horsfall played third today for the slumping Crazy Kelley and had 2 hits, stole a base, scored 3 runs and had 3 RBIs. Bill Hammack, getting his first start in a while in right, had 3 hits and did not make an error and even made an awesome catch. The biggest day was by LF Dave Taylor. In a stroke of managerial genius he was moved up to the #2spot and responded with 4 hits with a triple and a home run, stole 2 bases, scored twice and had 4 RBIs. Only one player in the lineup went hitless and that was me. If I had to go O'fer, this was the game to do it, though. I obviously made up for my lack of production with managerial genius.
