Monday, September 19, 1887

Manager/1B Pete Bucolo (39-4.1) and his Red Caps are in town for a 3 game series to begin today. We are 9-6 against them on the season and beat the 2 out of 3 games in Boston to begin this month. They are 2nd in the League in runs scored with 6.7 per game (Detroit is 4th with 6.2). They are 3rd in runs allowed with 6.3 per game (Detroit is #1 with 4.7).

Boston Red Caps (57-49 .538 11.5 GB in 3rd place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (70-39 .642 1st Place)

Dave Wolf, Bos. (24-4.7) (R 20-7 3.02 9.6-1.7-3.0 H-BB-K/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (22-7.6) (R 11-10 3.22 9.7-1.5-3.4).

We are 0-3 against Wolf so far, but hit him well the last two times we faced him.

Won - 1 to 0

Only the 2nd time we have ever shut out the Red Caps in my 3 seasons in Detroit. William McLeod did it on 3 hits back in July of '85. And with the way teams are scoring this year, this one is more special. What a way for Rice to get the 1st one of his (hopefully) illustrious career. I feared for the shutout every time LF Charlie Warner (33-9.2) came to the plate....

Rice allowed 2 hits, 2 walks and struck out 6. At bat, he had a hit and a walk.

Wolf gave us 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2.

Each team made 1 error.

RF Fred Bianco (28-6.9) hit a double. 1B George House (28-4.3) had 2 hits and scored our run.

Liberty League:
Louisville (15) at Cleveland (4): William McLeod (28-5.6) (27-17) over Artie Boucher (24-6.1) (10-15). McLeod allowed 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5. He has really had a remarkable season, especially when you consider that he is playing for an expansion team. CF Pat Womack (26-6.3) had 3 hits with a triple, scored 4 runs and had 2 RBIs. 1B Sam Clark (37-4.7), on his birthday, had 2 hits and 2 walks, scored 4 runs and had 2 RBIs. Rookie 3B Dave Odekirk (23-6.5) had 4 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBIs.

Indianapolis (4) at New York (6): Miah Turner (26-5.3) (26-14) over Jimmy Euler (26-5.5) (14-18). Turner allowed 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4. Euler is now 4-10 in his last 15 starts, though his ERA has remained steady, just under 3.00. Rookie CF Fred James (23-5.3) hit his 5th home run of the season. If 1887 is the Year of the Rookie, 1888 is going to be the Year of the Sophomore Slump when the magnates make their rules changed to get rid of all this scoring.

Pittsburgh (6) at Cincinnati (4): Whitey Mathews (24-4.1) (21-24) over John Stevens (30-8.2) (26-20). Mathews allowed 9 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1.

Grand National Association:
Omaha (3) at Providence (7): Tom Ashton (23-5.2) (11-8) over Lee Sprague (27-3.5) (25-29). Ashton allowed 5 hits, 7 walks and struck out 1.

Brooklyn (12) at Baltimore (7): William David (24-3.6) (13-9) over Ike Chase (27-6.2) (1-6).

Milwaukee (6) at Chicago (2): Wild Bill Perrell (23-7.3) (3-2) over Pat Seguin (23-4.4) (33-25). Perrell allowed 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. Seguin's collapse has been historic. He is now 1-9 in his last 10 starts and not one of them (including the win) has been a decent outing. LF Ted Steeves (25-4.2) ended his season with a pulled muscle.
