Today our hometown Brooklyn boys had their all-time first game at home, and thanks to a strong pitching performance by Adonis Terry, they went home winners 6-5 over Washington. Fred Warner and John Crowley each managed a pair of hits and though the game was close throughout, our Trolley Dodgers were able to secure the victory. Now they will be headed on the road again, this time to western Pennsylvania to play the Pittsburgh club.
