Cincinnati Reds (15-9 .625 0.5 GB in 4th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (12-7 .632 1 GB in 3rd place)

William Butina, Cin. (26-5.6) (R 4-3 4.15 9.8-2.8-2.1 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (24-7.6) (R 6-2 1.16 6.3-2.3-4.0)

We were 4-0 against Butina last season, but he pitched very well against us.

LINEUPS (* = LHB # = SHB)
CIN - 1: CF Ed Robling (26-7.3) 2: 2B Ed Kent# (25-3.6) 3: RF Fleet Wilcox (32-4.9) 4: C John Whelan (27-4.6) 5: 3B Sol Renaud (32-5.7) 6: LF Bert Gellis* (28-5.5) 7: 1B Lev Carpenter (22-6.0) 8: SS Dave Hay (27-5.7)

DET - 1: 2B Ed Aldrich (25-6.8) 2: CF Ren Dunbar (25-6.8) 3: 1B Sam Cowan (33-5.1) 4: RF Ben Smith* (29-6.7) 5: C Cliff Robinson (31-6.1) 6: LF Al Lewis* (23-9.1) 7: SS Pat Dunbar (27-8.3) 8: 3B Sam Boullion (29-4.8)

Whelan had thrown out 1 of 12 on steals so far, but threw out the 1st 3 that tried him today (Aldrich, Ben Smith and Pat Dunbar). Three base runners total and all erased on caught stealings.

Down 3 to 2, we loaded the bases with no outs in the 6th, but did not score.

We tied it up in the bottom of the 7th, thanks to a lead-off double by Aldrich and an error by Ed Robling in center.

Both teams went down in order in the 9th, though Ben Smith gave us heart palpitations by narrowly missing our 1st home run of the season.

Top of the 10th and Ed Robling leading off. It is absolutely imperative for us to keep him off the bases. He has 7 hits and a walk in the 1st 2 games of the series and has stolen 9 bases, 9!!! He singled to left..... Instead of stealing base #10, though, they bunt him over, 1 out. Wilcox and his .400 average is up. Fly out to left, but Robling tags and moves to 3rd. 2 outs, John Whelan at bat. Hard smash wide of 1st that Cowan just knocks down. He has time to recover and throw the slow-footed Whelan out, Rice covering the bag. Bullet dodged! Let's score a run!

Robinson leads off and reached on an error by 3B Renaud. Lewis bunts and Butina fields it and fires to 2nd, but too late! Pat Dunbar hits a lazy fly to right, but the lazy right fielder, Wilcox, drops it! Bases loaded, no outs! Surely they cannot hold us scoreless in this situation twice in one game..... Sam Boullion up. He launches one down into the right fielder corner and it stays fair and Wilcox cannot reach it! Game Over!

Won - 4 to 3 in 10 innings

In 10 innings, Rice allowed 9 hits, 1 walk and struck out 8. At bat, he had a hit.

Butina gave us 9 hits, 6 walks and struck out 2. At bat, he had a hit.

Each team made 5 errors.

Ed Aldrich had 2 hits with a double and a walk, stole a base and scored a run. Ben Smith had 2 hits and 2 walks and scored a run. Cliff Robinson had a hit and a walk and scored 2 runs and gave up 6 steals and made 2 errors, both costing us runs. Pat Dunbar had 2 hits with a triple and an RBI.

Our 1st extra-inning game of the year turns out well!

CF Sam King (23-6.0), our 1st draft pick this past winter, is tearing up the International League (A) in Syracuse and we need to get him up here. But there is no room in our outfield. I don't know what to do....

Liberty League:
Louisville (8) at Cleveland (6): Jumbo Hoops (24-6.5) (5-3) over Artie Boucher (26-6.1) (2-5). Rookie C Wilson Terlizzi (26-5.6) had 3 hits with a double, scored a run and had an RBI.

Kansas City (4) at Pittsburgh (3): Al McClaughry (25-5.6) (6-3) over Tom Lilly (29-6.4) (5-3). Our old C Evan Eckberg (33-3.5) got a 2-out hit to knock in the go-ahead run in the top of the 9th. He had 2 hits and scored a run. McClaughry allowed 9 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3. Lilly allowed 10 hits, no walks and struck out 2.

Indianapolis (0) at Boston (6): Dave Wolf (26-4.7) (3-4) over Al Conradt (25-4.1) (2-6). Wolf allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 6.

Grand National Association:
Chicago (5) at Buffalo (1): Skyrocket Howard (24-5.4) (6-2) over Wild Bill Perrell (25-7.3) (5-5). Howard allowed 5 hits, 3 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had 2 hits and scored a run. Perrell allowed 9 hits, 3 walks and struck out 3. This was a makeup game.

The only scheduled game, Omaha at St. Louis, was rained out.
