Detroit Wolverines (3-3 .500 1.5 GB tied for 4th place in the Liberty League) at
Indianapolis Hoosiers (3-3 .500 1.5 GB tied for 4th place)

Jiggs Niedermeyer, Det. (24-5.8) (R 1-0 2.67 9.2-2.7-2.4 last year H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Frank McSherry, Ind. (32-4.1) (R 13-12 4.08 9.6-4.7-3.1 last year)

This will be the 2nd start of Niedermeyer's career.

If we are going to be an offensive juggernaut this season, we may want to start scoring some runs. We scored 13 times on Opening Day and 13 times in the 5 games since.

Won - 5 to 4 in 10 innings.

RF Ben Smith (28-6.7) hit a home run to tie the game in the 9th inning and CF Fred Negus (24-6.7) stole 3rd in the 10th inning and scored when the catcher's throw went into left field.

In 10 innings, Niedermeyer allowed 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 2.

McSherry gave us 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3. At bat, he, of course, had a hit and scored a run.

2B Sam Boullion had 2 hits and an RBI. Besides the 9th inning home run, RF Ben Smith was also beaned twice, stole 2 bases and scored 2 runs. C Jimmy Babcock (31-6.9) hit a double, scored a run and had an RBI, but did not throw out anyone.

For the Hoosiers, Rf Ed Wakefield (28-5.8) hit his 3rd home run of the season, another inside-the-park jobber with a man on base.

More unpleasant facts: We are last in the League in batting average (.197) and scoring runs. On the bright side, if we can go 4-3 when we are the worst hitting club in the circuit, then once the bats get going we should jump right up to first place! That is, if they get going. Only Ben Smith and Sam Boullion have stats they don't need to be ashamed of. 1B Sam Cowan (31-5.1) had 2 hits on Opening Day and has 1 in the 6 games since.

Liberty League:
Cleveland (4) at Pittsburgh (2): Artie Boucher (25-6.1) (1-0) over Joe Peters (32-4.9) (0-1). Boucher allowed 7 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2. At bat, he had a hit and an RBI. Peters allowed 8 hits, 4 walks and struck out 7. Ed William (27-6.0) hit a home run.

Boston (6) at Cincinnati (7): John Stevens (31-8.2) (2-1) over Kid Mathewson (21-6.4) (1-1). CF Ed Robling (25-7.3) had 3 hits with a double and a walk, stole 3 bases, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. For the Shamrocks, 3B Bill Gordon (31-3.7) and pinch-hitter Jocko Breton (25-4.5) each hit a home run. Gordon also hit a double and drew a walk and scored 3 runs.

Louisville (1) at New York (4): Tom McDowell (24-8.0) (2-1) over Jumbo Hoops (23-6.5) (1-1). McDowell allowed 5 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4. Hoops allowed 6 hits, 3 walks and struck out 4.

Grand National Association:
Providence (8) at Brooklyn (1): Tom Ashton (24-5.2) (1-2) over Ren French (26-4.9) (1-3). Ashton allowed 4 hits, 4 walks and struck out 4. C Spider Sullivan (27-6.7) had 3 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had an RBI and threw out the only runner to attempt a steal.

Omaha (9) at Washington (7) in 10 innings: Tom Lee (30-6.0) (3-1) over Sammy Berry (28-5.5) (2-1). Berry did not pitch very well, but at the plate, he had 2 hits with a home run. 2B Jocko Cole (26-6.1) had 3 hits with a double and a walk, stole a base, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBIs. Washington has lost 3 in a row, all in extra innings.

Milwaukee (1) at Chicago (7): Pat Seguin (24-4.4) (4-0) over Freddy Wood (31-6.3) (1-3). Seguin allowed 4 hits, no walks and struck out 2. At bat, he had a hit and 2 RBIs.
