A grey, gloomy, cold overcast day on the Sunshine field (Field B). The
National League game between the Capitals, Braves and Pirates ended as a struggle
between the Braves and Pirates. Elmer Black’s Capitals were forced to forfeit
when only eight rostered players were available at game time. Supplemented with
pool players Blacks team scored five runs in the first inning and never looked
back, scoring five in the sixth inning and six in the seventh for a total score
of 21 runs in seven innings. Big hitters for the Capitals were Peterson, Lopez
and Ayer, all 4 for 5 at the plate. Angel Farinas was four for four.
The game between the Braves and Pirates appeared to be going all the Braves
way, leading 11 to 4 after 5 innings, however the Pirates were not giving up.
After the Braves were held scoreless in the 6th the Pirates answered with 4 runs
all scored by the bottom of the order. In the 7th inning the Braves were again
held scoreless. The Pirates are down three runs with one more chance at bat.
Kline singled, Guspyt tripled and Mahon tripled. With two out Witter walked,
Hawbaker doubled and Holley singles. PIRATES WIN 13-11. Braves big hitters were
Fulton 4 for 4, McLellan a home run and 2 doubles, Lautenschlager a triple,
double and single, Augenstein 3 for 3. For the Pirates Miller had a game
starting triple and a single, Guspyt a triple, double and a single, Hawbaker 2
singles and 2 doubles.
