Boston Red Caps (23-21 .523 6 GB tied for 3rd place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (29-15 .659 1st place)

Charlie Morlock, Bos. (37-6.7) (R 7-10 4.24 11.5-2.1-2.7 H-BB-K/9) vs. Dave Frazier, Det. (27-5.7) (L 4-3 2.61 8.5-2.3-2.3)

Lost - 7 to 6 in 11 innings

Our 2nd foray into the extra-innings region ends as unhappily as the 1st. LF Al Lewis' (21-9.1) 2nd error of the day allowed the lead off man to reach in the top of the 11th and he ended up scoring.

In 11 innings, Frazier allowed 9 hits, 4 walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had a walk and an RBI.

We had 11 hits and each team made 2 errors.

2B Jocko Cole (25-6.1) had 2 hits with a double and scored a run and handled 11 chances in the field without an error. RF Ben Smith (28-6.7) hit a triple, stole a base, scored a run and had 2 RBIs and threw a runner out at the plate. C Evan Eckberg (31-3.5) had 2 hits with a triple and an RBI. It was his 5th triple of the season, marking a new career high in only 58 at bats. SS Tom Nelson (20-6.6) hit a triple and drew a walk and scored 2 runs. 1B Tom Duncan (22-6.6) had 3 hits with a triple, scored a run and had an RBI.

For the Red Caps, manager/1B Pete Bucolo (39-4.1) had 4 hits with a triple, scored a run and had an RBI. LF Charlie Warner (33-9.2) hit yet another home run against us, his 5th of the year and 3rd against us. There were 2 runners on base. That makes 8 home runs against us for him in the 3 seasons I have been in Detroit. He has hit 10 during that span against everyone else combined. Charlie Morlock went 10 innings and got the win, #293 for his illustrious career.

Liberty League:
Indianapolis (6) at New York (9): Tom McDowell (23-8.0) (4-1) over Jimmy Euler (26-5.5) (2-3). 3B Ed Glass (27-4.5) had 3 hits with a double and a triple, scored a run and had 4 RBIs.

Pittsburgh (6) at Cleveland (7) in 10 innings: Artie Boucher (24-6.1) (2-0) in relief of Ed Pedersen (25-5.1) over Tom Adams (32-6.0) (2-5) in relief of Tom Lilly (27-6.4). Lilly had to leave with back spasms after making 1 pitch. They expect him to take about a week to recover. SS Dan White (27-5.1) went hitless, ending his consecutive game hitting streak at 23. Pedersen went 9 innings, allowed 8 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2, but also had to leave the game with a sore ankle, They expect him to be okay in about 3 days or so. Cleveland scored 3 times in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game. SS Jesse Flanders (27-5.4) knocked in the winning run. For the Puddlers, 1B Tom Coponen (31-7.0) hit his 3rd home run of the year.

Grand National Association:
Providence (4) at Baltimore (5): Pop Yurkovich (35-5.6) (9-12) over Ed Hodges (27-3.2) (7-13). Yurkovich allowed 10 hits, no walks and struck out 3. Only once before today had Yurky walked less than 3 in a game and that time he walked 2.

St. Louis (10) at Kansas City (11): Dave Hendrich (24-6.0) (2-0) in relief of AL McClaughry (23-5.6) over Con Arnold (23-6.3) (3-5). The Cowboys scored 3 times in the bottom of the 9th to win. The final run scored on an error. 3B Al Sarbacker (26-4.8) hit his 2nd home run of the season.

Milwaukee (2) at Chicago (7): Pat Seguin (23-4.4) (14-10) over Wiley Steel (25-5.6) (4-5). Seguin allowed 6 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5. RF Candy Simpson (28-6.8) hit a home run.


After today's games, no team in the major leagues had a winning or losing streak longer than 1 game, except Brooklyn, who has won 2 in a row, but did not play today.
