Omaha Mutuals (2-3) at
Detroit Wolverines (3-2)

We are back home and I really want to end this series today, but can we beat Sprague 3 times in a row? There is no doubt in my mind now that the GNA is every bit as good a circuit as the Liberty League.

Both teams will be going with their original starting lineups.

Lee Sprague, Omaha (28-3.5) (R 0-2) vs. Al Rice, Detroit (24-7.6) (R 2-0)

45 degrees today.

Won - 8 to 1

They scored 1 run in the 1st. Rookie 1B Tom Durkin (22-6.6) led off with a double, but was thrown out trying to steal third right before rookie RF Tom Nelson (23-5.2) hit one over the right field fence for a home run.

This game was laughably one-sided; I have no idea how we only scored 8 runs.

Rice allowed 5 hits, no walks and struck out 5.

Sprague gave us 11 hits, no walks and struck out 2.

We made no errors and Omaha made 10! 4 each for the double-play combo of 2B Jocko Cole (27-6.1) and SS Dave Henderson (25-4.1).

2B Ed Aldrich (24-6.8), who was the most impressive player of this series, had 2 hits, scored a run and had 2 RBIs. IN the 6 games, he went 13 for 26 (.500), stole 3 bases, scored 9 runs and had 5 RBIs. 1B Sam Cowan (32-5.1) had 2 hits and an RBI. C Cliff Robinson (30-6.1) had a hit and scored 2 runs. 3B Jesse Flanders (28-5.4) hit a double, scored 3 runs and had an RBI. SS Ed Engelhardt (23-5.0) had 2 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. LF Fred Negus (24-6.7) hit a double and had 2 RBIs.

So now it's time for me to provide that shindig I promised the boys!
