It's time to see what our 1st pick from the last B Leagues draft can do. Al Rice (22-7.6) has arrived from Syracuse where he had a 11-4 record with a 2.31 ERA. He cannot be any worse than Ed Bush (27-5.3) has been of late. For those who have forgotten, Rice won the pitching Triple Crown in the Southern League (B) last year. This year he is leading the International League (A) in ERA and strikeouts and is 2nd in fewest walks per 9 innings. We'll let him spend the day today getting acclimated to his new surroundings and tomorrow we will throw him into the fire.

P Ed Seelow (27-4.5) and his 6.43 ERA were sent to Syracuse in exchange.

Louisville Bourbons (25-21 .543 3.5 GB in 3rd place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (29-18 .617 1st place)

William McLeod, Lou. (28-5.6) (R 12-7 4.12 9.2-3.9-3.3 H-BB-K/9) vs. Lou Townley, Det. (25-3.4) (R 14-5 2.88 9.4-1.4-3.4)

Last time these 2 met, Townley gave up 17 hits.

Won - 6 to 5

With the game tied at 5 apiece, 3B Sam Boullion (27-4.8) led off the bottom of the 9th with a walk. With 1-out LF Ben Smith (28-6.7) doubled and Boullion came home, but found the ball waiting on him there for the 2nd out. However, Smith went to 3rd on the throw, from where he scored on a passed ball to win the game.

Townley allowed 8 hits (all singles), 2 walks and struck out 5.

McLeod gave us 10 hits, 4 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit.

We made 2 errors and Louisville made 3.

2B Jocko Cole (25-6.1) had 4 hits with a double, stole a base, scored a run and had an RBI. He is hitting over .400 for June. SS Tom Nelson (20-6.6) continued his amazing run with a double and a triple, scored a run and had 2 RBIs. He is now hitting .421 for the 1st 19 games of his career.
