Friday, July 13, 1888

Who were the idiots that decided to play a double-header on Friday the 13th? Well, I guess I was one of them, but I did not realize what I was doing! Really, though, I am not too superstitious. But it does give me a little uneasy feeling.

Louisville Bourbons (26-32 .448 12 GB in 6th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (39-21 .650 in 1st place)

Game 1
William McLeod, Lou. (29-5.6) (R 12-11 1.92 7.5-3.0-4.6 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (24-5.8) (R 19-7 2.11 7.5-0.9-5.3)

We are 2-0 against McLeod so far, winning both games by the score of 6 to 4, though one of them took 10 innings.

Won - 8 to 7

CF Ren Dunbar (24-6.8) hit a 1-out triple in the bottom of the 9th and scored on a wild pitch to win the game. He has been out MVP so far this year and he did not start the season in the lineup.

Rice allowed 9 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4.

McLeod gave us 8 hits, 6 walks and struck out 1.

We made 4 errors and Louisville made 5.

CF Ren Dunbar had 3 hits with a triple and a walk, stole 2 bases, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. 1B Sam Cowan (32-5.1) had a hit and 2 walks, stole a base and scored a run. C Cliff Robinson (30-6.1) hit an inside-the-park home run, scored a run and had 3 RBIs.

For the Bourbons, rookie 2B Tom Walker (25-3.8) had 3 hits with a triple and a walk, stole 2 bases, scored 2 runs and had 4 RBIs.

Game 2
Cupid Tyson , Lou. (24-8.6) (R 1-1 4.76 9.5-4.0-1.6) vs. Dave Frazier, Det. (28-5.7) (L 12-7 2.26 8.5-1.1-3.1)

We have not faced Tyson before. He was traded by Boston to Milwaukee and then Milwaukee released him.

Won - 3 to 2

Our 3rd straight Sudden Death win! 3B Ed Aldrich (24-6.8) hit a single to win the game in the bottom of the 9th. Frazier only went 1 inning and had to leave with a tight back. They say it will probably be 2 weeks before he is right, so I am going to give Cinders Holmes (22-5.1) a shot. He has been hot in Syracuse. Then if either, Price or Holmes falters, Wild Bill Perrell (24-7.3) will get the call. He pitched very well for us early in the season, but Price and Holmes have out-performed him of late in Syracuse.

Frazier pitched a perfect 1st.
In 8 innings of relief, Price allowed 6 hits, no walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit and a walk and had an RBI.

Tyson gave us 9 hits, 2 walks and struck out 1.

We made 2 errors and Louisville made 3.

SS Pat Dunbar (26-8.3) had 2 hits with a double and stole a base. 2B Reddy Daley (24-6.8) had 3 hits with a double and scored 2 runs. Cliff Robinson (30-6.1) had a pinch-hit single and scored the wining run.

Boston (2) at Pittsburgh (4) Game 2: Joe Peters (32-4.9) (5-5) over Dave Wolf (25-4.7) (9-16). Peters, in his 1st win over his old team, allowed 4 hits, no walks and struck out 6.
