We are in Boston to begin a 4 game series with manager/1B Pete Bucolo (39-4.1) and his Red Caps. They lead the league in runs scored with 9.2 per game. Yes, 9.2 per game (Detroit is last with 5.7). They are 3rd in runs allowed with 6.2 (Detroit is #1 with 5.0). Their South End Grounds is now the 2nd best pitcher's park in the League behind Pittsburgh's Recreation Park.

Detroit Wolverines (12-7 .632 0 GB in 2nd place in the Liberty League) at
Boston Red Caps (11-6 .647 1st place)

Ed Bush, Det. (26-5.3) (R 6-3 2.57 9.9-2.2-2.8 H-BB-K/9) vs. Dave Wolf, Bos. (24-4.7) (R 3-1 3.45 9.4-3.5-3.8)

Lost - 3 to 2

I am sick of this offense, I will tell you what..... The League's hitters are exploding out all over the place, but not here....

Bush allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1. If not for his requisite home run allowed per game, he would have won. Or if we had an offense.

Wolfe gave us 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1.

Each team made 3 errors.

For the Red Caps, CF Pat Stafford (26-5.4) hit his 4th home run of the season, tying for the League lead.

Liberty League:
Cincinnati (8) at Louisville (7): Charlie Branham (27-4.2) (3-6) over Sammy Berry (27-5.5) (0-1).

Cleveland (6) at Pittsburgh (7) in 10 innings: Tom Adams (32-6.0) (1-2) over Harry Lamb (32-6.4) (1-1) in relief of Ed Pedersen (25-5.1). Pittsburgh scored twice in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, but Cleveland scored a run in the top of the 10th to take the lead. However, Pittsburgh scored 2 more in the bottom of the 10th to win. LF Jim Graves (29-5.7) singled home the winning run with 2 outs. C Wilson Wendling (26-4.1) hit a home run.

New York (12) at Indianapolis (11): Tom McDowell (23-8.0) (1-1) over Dad Marshall (28-4.4) (2-4). 1B John Hilliard (27-7.2) hit his 3rd home run of the season.

Grand National Association:
Providence (6) at Kansas City (7): Lew Burnett (26-4.5) (7-3) over Bill Henson (30-6.5) (1-7). CF Danny Bolus (35-5.4) was knocked unconscious and will likely miss 4 months. For the Grays, LF Charlie Gregor (28-5.2) hit a home run.

Omaha (8) at Milwaukee (1): Lee Sprague (27-3.5) (5-6) over Zachary Buchanan (26-4.0) (6-5). Sprague allowed 8 hits, no walks and struck out 2. RF Bill Hammack (34-5.0) had 4 hits, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBIs.
