Troy Haymakers (24-9 1st place) at Cincinnati Reds (16-17 4th place)

The Reds beat us 2 out of 3 in Troy the first time we met.

I've recalled Wash Horsfall from Rochester and sent IF John Powers back down. Wash has proven to me that I can use him if necessary to pitch. His arm is not up to starting however, and we will only use him in emergency relief.

John Bendickson, Troy (27 R 15-6 1.56 0.6/3.2 BB/K) vs. Jim Postema, Cin. (29 R 13-8 2.66 0.6/3.5 BB/K)

Lost - 6 to 3

Bendickson only allowed 5 hits, but 4 of them were for extra-bases. He walked 1 and struck out 2.

We made 4 errors, 2 by Bendickson himself.

But the story today was Jim Postema. He gave us only 5 hits and walked 1. Before today the most strikeouts Postema had recorded in a 9 inning game was 7. The record by any pitcher was 9, set by Pop Yurkovich of Worcester one week ago. But today the Dutchman sent 11 Haymakers back to the bench because they failed to make contact with the ball. And the Haymakers are the toughest team to strikeout in the League! An amazing performance to watch.

Cincinnati only made 2 errors.

CF John Confair had a double and scored a run. RF Deacon Wilson hit a triple, scored a run, and had an RBI.

The Haymakers had only allowed one home run on the year before today. They allowed the second one in this game and it was hit by the same fella that hit the first, C Jake Houghton of the Reds. It came with 2 men on base and went a country mile.

Other Games:
Boston (9) at Providence (5) - Charlie Morlock (13-6) over Willis Kornfield (11-12). Morlock allowed 11 hits and struck out 2. He also had 2 hits, scored 2 runs, had an RBI and made an error. CF Charlie Warner had 3 hits, was caught stealing once, scored a run, had 2 RBIs and made an error. SS John Kron had 3 hits with a double and a triple, scored twice and knocked one in. RF Dan Sloan had 5 hits with a double, stole a base, scored a run and had an RBI.

Baltimore (4) at Louisville (2) - Sal DeVaux (1-1) over John Merson (8-5). DeVaux allowed 8 hits and struck out 3. Merson only allowed 7 hits and struck out 4. 9 Eclipse errors did him in. Baltimore only made 3 miscues. LF Martin Griffin had 2 hits, stole 2 bases, scored a run, knocked in 3 and made an error.

Utica (3) at Worcester (7) - Pop Yurkovich (8-14) over Tom Marshman (8-14). Yurkovich allowed 7 hits, walked one and struck out 3. 3B Jim Hodzic had 3 hits with a triple, scored twice and had 2 RBIs.
