TWIWBL 20.3: Series XVII Notes – Effa Manley Division
#Homestead Grays
Earl Hamilton was recalled from his rehab assignment, with Babe Adams returning to AAA.
#Indianapolis ABC's
Joe Morgan had 4 hits, Ernie Lombardi drove in 3 runs in support of a great start by Johnny Cueto, who allowed 5 hits and fanned 10 in just over 8 innings of work. Cueto moved to 6-4 in the 7 to 2 victory over Detroit.
#New York Black Yankees
Red Ruffing gave up 3 hits to start the game ... and then got out of the inning without surrendering a run to Memphis, and didn't allow another hit until the top of the 7th. That performance moved Ruffing to 9-1 on the year as the Black Yankees won, 11-6. Albert Belle and Eric Davis each went deep and drove in 3 runs, and Doug DeCinces had 3 hits for New York.
Needing a starter, the Black Yankees sent Dave Righetti down to AAA, recalling Vic Raschi.
#Philadelphia Stars
Steve Carlton's return from injury meant Jack Easton was returned to AAA.
