2B Reddy Daley (24-6.8) has been hot in Syracuse and 2B Pat Dunbar (26-8.3) has cooled of late, so I have called up Daley and sent IF Al Hartford (23-5.0) back down. Daley was our 1st pick in the B Leagues draft this Winter and he is already 24, so I don't want to waste any more time with him. Let's see what he can do.
Cincinnati Reds (26-31 .456 11 GB tied for 6th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (37-20 .649 in 1st place)
John Stevens, Cin. (31-8.2) (R 10-13 2.62 8.8-1.6-3.7 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (23-7.6) (R 18-6 2.13 7.6-0.9-5.3)
We are 2-0 against Stevens on the year, but he has pitched well both time. We only had 5 hits the last time we met.
Lost - 3 to 1
Daley had a forgettable debut: 0 for 3 with a strikeout and he made an error. He did make two exceptional plays in the field, however.
Rice allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4.
Stevens gave us 3 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5. At bat, he had 2 hits and an RBI.
We made 2 errors and Cincinnati made 1.
LF Al Lewis (22-9.1) hit a double and stole a base.
For the Reds, SS Tub Saslow (23-5.8) ad 2 hits with a triple and a walk, stole 2 bases, scored 2 runs and had an RBI.
Liberty League:
Boston (5) at Cleveland (2): William Little (27-6.0) (14-10) over Lou Townley (26-3.4) (15-10). Little allowed 5 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had 2 hits. 1B Bill Gordon (31-3.7) hit his 6th home run of the season.
