Detroit Wolverines (11-5 .688 2 GB tied for 2nd place in the Liberty League) at
Boston Red Caps (13-3 .813 1st place)

We begin a 3 game set with the manager/1B Pete Bucolo (37-4.1) and his 4-time defending champion Red Caps today, though we will play 2 and then go to Troy for two and back here for 1 and then back to Troy for 3 more. Boston has won 6 in a row and 11 of their last 12. We have won 5 in a row. Something has got to give and i got a feeling I know who it will be. But if we have designs on the Championship, we will have to beat the Red Caps. Boston is 2nd in the league in runs scored with 6.9 per game (Detroit is 5th with 5.0). They are first in fewest runs allowed with 3.8 (Detroit is down to 3rd with 4.1). Their payroll is almost 3 times that of the Wolverines. Their South End Grounds is probably the best park for pitchers outside of Rochester's Culver Field in the Liberty League.

William McLeod, Det. (26-5.6) (R 5-2 1.59 6.5-2.9-4.6 H-BB-K/9) vs. Freddy Wood, Bos. (29-6.3) (R 3-0 0.00 4.0-3.3-4.7)

Won - 6 to 4

McLeod allowed 10 hits, 5 walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit and scored a run.

Wood gave us 8 hits, no walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit, a walk and an RBI. In his first 3 starts he had only allowed 6 runs total, all unearned. We doubled that and gave him his first earned runs of the season, to boot (3).

We made 1 error and Boston made 5. We more often than not came up with a big defensive play when they threatened to start a rally.

RF Joe Kraus (28-7.9) had 2 hits, stole a base, scored a run and had an RBI. LF Ben Smith (25-6.7) had 3 hits with a double, stole 2 bases, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. He had his 3rd straight multi-hit game and 5th in his last 5 starts. He now leads the Liberty League in batting average (.385) and he is tied for the lead in hits (25) and runs scored (18). 1B George House (26-4.3) hit a triple, scored a run and had 2 RBIs. SS Sam Swanger (32-4.8) did not get a hit, but played great defense, as anticipated. He made an excellent diving stop to rob a hit and in the bottom of the 9th after McLeod had walked a batter with 1 out, he started a double play to end the game.

For Boston, 2B Mike Stables (29-7.1) had 2 hits with a triple, scored a run and had an RBI. Like Ben Smith, he had his 3rd straight multi-hit game and has had 5 in his last 6 starts. SS John Ingling (25-4.6) had 3 hits with a double and scored a run.
