The final game of our series with Louisville was rained out today. Perhaps it is just as well, the way we have been playing of late.

Liberty League:
Cincinnati (5) at Indianapolis (4): Charlie Branham (28-4.2) (2-4) over Sal DeVaux (33-3.5) (1-7). Branham allowed 8 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1. At bat, he had a hit and scored a run. DeVaux only allowed 5 hits, but 2 of them were home runs. He walked 3 and struck out 4. LF Will Muller (24-6.4) hit one of the home runs and 1B Willie Burton (33-8.5) hit the other, his 4th of the season.

Boston (1) at Pittsburgh (9): Tom Lilly (28-6.4) (5-3) over Dave Wolf (25-4.7) (2-6). Lilly allowed 12 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3, the same numbers that Wolf allowed. And each team only made 2 errors. And each pitcher beaned his opposite number. The difference was that the Puddlers hit 9 of their 12 hits in the 7th and 8th innings when they scored 7 runs. RF Joe Coffey (31-5.2) hurt his knee and will miss about 5 weeks.

New York (7) at Cleveland (6): Miah Turner (27-5.3) (4-2) over Artie Boucher (25-6.1) (3-2). 6 errors by each team was the defining feature of this game.

Grand National Association:
Kansas City (2) at St. Louis (4): Jimmy Richards (25-0.9) (2-0) over Al McClaughry (24-5.6) (5-3). Richards allowed 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4. McClaughry allowed 5 hits, 3 walks and struck out 8. Plus St. Louis made 7 errors yo Kansas City's 4.

Brooklyn (4) at Omaha (2): Ren French (26-4.9) (2-4) over Lee Sprague (28-3.5) (6-2). French allowed 9 hits, 3 walks and struck out 1. Sprague allowed 6 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5. LF Joe Kraus (31-7.9) had 2 hits with a double and a walk, stole a base, scored a run and had 2 RBIs. He is now hitting .417, has scored 14 runs in 14 games and his OPS is still over 1.000 (1.095). His OPS was .482 for us last season.
