New York Gothams (11-11 .500 2.5 GB tied for 5th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (14-10 .583 0.5 GB in 2nd place)

Tom McWilliams, N.Y. (26-4.3) (R 0-1 13.50 19.1-4.5-0.0 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Jiggs Niedermeyer, Det. (24-5.8) (R 1-2 3.91 7.8-2.0-2.3)

This will be McWilliams' 2nd career start. His 1st was at Seventh Street Park in Indianapolis where he lost 14 to 4. So I expect him to mow us down handily.

Won - 6 to 1

Niedermeyer, looking much sharper than last time, allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and struck out 8.

McWilliams gave us 11 hits, 3 walks and struck out 1.

We made 4 errors and New York made 2. New York has only made 4 errors in the whole series so far.

Rookie CF Ren Dunbar (24-6.8) had 2 hits, scored a run and had an RBI. 3B Dave Odekirk (23-6.5) hit a triple and a home run and had 2 RBIs.
