Manager Paul Richards (47-5.4) has his Gothams in town to begin a 4 game series, the final series of our home stand. They are 2nd in runs scored in the League with 5.2 per game (Detroit is #7 with 4.3). They are 6th in runs allowed with 5.3 (Detroit is still #1 with 3.5, but Louisville is a close 2nd with 3.7)

New York Gothams (9-10 .474 3 GB in 7th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (13-8 .619 1st place)

Miah Turner, N.Y. (27-5.3) (R 4-2 2.04 7.8-0.5-4.1 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (23-7.6) (R 6-2 2.16 7.3-1.0-5.8)

Won - 6 to 0

We did not get our 1st hit until the 4th inning, but it was an RBI single by 2B Ed Engelhardt (23-5.0) to give us the 1 to 0 lead.

The Gothams led off the 2nd with their 3rd hit of the day and that would be the last one they would get. Rice sat down 15 in a row after that hit. In fact, the only 2 runners to get on base the rest of the game both reached on errors by Rice himself.

Rice allowed 3 hits, no walks and struck out 5. At bat, he had a hit.

Turner gave us 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4.

We made 2 errors and New York made 1.

Rookie CF Ren Dunbar (24-6.8) hit a 2-run triple in the 7th that gave us a 4 to 0 lead. In the 1st inning, though his throwing arm is very weak, he threw out a runner at the plate to preserve the shutout. LF Ben Smith (28-6.7) went hitless, ending his streak at 17 games. 2B Ed Engelhardt had 2 hits and an RBI. C Cliff Robinson (30-6.1) had a hit and 2 walks, scored a run and threw out 1 of 2 base stealers. SS Ducky Foster (23-9.0) had 2 hits, scored 2 runs and had an RBI.

1B Sam Cowan (32-5.1) is in another slump (2 for his last 19). He is now hitting .195 on the season and looking very much like an old man who missed all of last season with a broken knee cap. I am not going to bench him yet (with all the injuries, there really is no one else to try there), but he is getting moved out of the #3 slot in the lineup.

Liberty League:
Boston (12) at Indianapolis (3): Kid Mathewson (21-6.4) (4-1) over Sal DeVaux (33-3.5) (1-8).

Louisville (4) at Cleveland (3): William McLeod (29-5.6) (5-4) over Willard Clapp (25-4.3) (1-3). McLeod allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2.
