Thursday, May 30, 1889 Decoration Day
Time for some holiday double-headers! At least for everyone but us.... We were lucky to get in one game before the rain came pouring down.
Louisville Bourbons (18-11 .621 1 GB in 3rd place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (16-7 .696 in 1st place)
Jumbo Hoops, Lou. (24-6.5) (R 5-3 4.76 9.6-3.2-3.2 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Dave Frazier, Det. (29-5.7) (L 1-4 3.00 9.5-3.5-2.3)
We were 1-3 against Hoops in his rookie season last year. Thanks to rain-outs, Frazier makes his 1st start in nearly 2 weeks. We are supposed to play 140 games this season, but it does not look like we will get close to playing that many.
LINEUPS (* = LHB # = SHB)
LOU - 1: SS Rit Durham (24-5.4) 2: 2B Tom Walker (26-3.8) 3: RF Tom Panozzo* (24-2.0) 4: 1B Pete Hinde (33-7.9) 5: C Wilson Terlizzi (26-5.6) 6: CF Ed Phillips (26-3.5) 7: LF Steve Giles* (23-4.2) 8: 3B Ren Morgan (25-4.0)
DET - 1: 3B 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: LF Al Lewis* (23-9.1) 6: 2B Sam Boullion (29-4.8) 7: SS Pat Dunbar (27-8.3) 8: C Tom Trever (26-4.7)
Down a run in the bottom of the 9th, PH Tom Morgenthal (27-5.3) led us off by reaching on an error, but the next 3 batters went down without a whimper.
Lost - 6 to 5
Frazier allowed 10 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2.
hoops gave us 9 hits, 5 walks and struck out 4.
Each team made 3 errors.
Ed Aldrich had a hit and 3 walks, stole 2 bases and scored 2 runs. Ren Dunbar hit a double, drew a walk, stole a base and had an RBI. Sam Cowan went hitless and is now 4 for 30 (.133) on the season. Though he has only played 8 games, he leads the team in hard hit balls that have been turned into outs. So I am not ready to give up on him quite yet. If just half of those hard hit balls had been hits, he'd be hitting .300. Ben Smith had a hit and scored 2 runs. Sam Boullion had 2 hits and scored a run. Tom Trever had 2 hits with a triple and 2 RBIs.
For the Bourbons, 2B Tom Walker had 3 hits, stole 2 bases, scored a run and had 2 RBIs. Rookie C Wilson Terlizzi (26-5.6) had 2 hits and an RBI and threw out 4 base stealers.

Grand National Association:
St. Louis (6) at Providence (8) Game 1: Ed Wison (28-7.3) (6-6) over Jimmy Richards (26-0.9) (7-7). Wison allowed 11 hits, 5 walks and struck out 5. At bat, he had 4 hits, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.

It seems the reports of his demise were a bit premature.
St. Louis (2) at Providence (7) Game 2: Jimmy Harrison (22-4.6) (3-6) over Con Arnold (25-6.3) (4-6). Harrison allowed 4 hits, 7 walks and struck out 1. LF Al Young (25-4.8) had 2 hits with a double and 4 RBIs.
Chicago (11) at Brooklyn (5) Game 1: Pat Seguin (25-4.4) (7-9) over Tom Homer (25-5.0) (3-5). Seguin allowed 3 hits, 3 walks and struck out 9.
Chicago (4) at Brooklyn (5) in 10 innings Game 2: William David (26-3.6) (7-3) over Skyrocket Howard (24-5.4) (6-4). The game was tied at 3 entering the 9th. The Colts scored a run in the top of the 9th, but RF Tom Campbell (30-3.6) tripled and 1B Con Nixon (26-8.1) singled to tie it back up in the bottom. The wining run scored on a long fly out. In 10 innings, David allowed 11 hits, no walks and struck out 3. Howard allowed 10 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4. 1B Joe Vaughan (34-5.2), the 1880 Liberty League MVP, busted up his knee and will miss at least 2 months. He had tweaked it in the 1st game and was trying to play on it.
Omaha (7) at Washington (8) in 10 innings: Tom Graves (24-6.2) (2-0) over Lee Sprague (29-3.5) (7-7). The wining run scored on an error. C Jumbo Watkins (33-6.0) had 3 hits with a triple, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBIs.
The 2nd game scheduled at Washington and both games of the intended Milwaukee at Buffalo double-header were canceled due to weather.
