The St. Louis Cardinals found a trading partner in the St. Louis Browns, sending pitcher Tom Walker in return for pitcher Roger Denzer and 2nd baseman Curt Bernard. It is interesting that the Cardinals were willing to move on from Walker (the #10 overall ranked prospect) just 1 month after acquiring him the Phillies.

The hometown crowd was rooting for their team to rebound from the recent downturn but ended up leaving the stadium disappointed as the Cleveland Bronchos (42-54) topped the Boston Americans (66-30) by a score of 3 to 1.

With a 6 to 3 lead heading into the 7th inning, things were looking good for the hometown fans. The Cleveland Bronchos (43-55) had other plans though, as they came back to beat the Boston Americans (67-31) by a score of 7 to 6.

Cleveland starter Jim Hughes lasted 6 innings in which he allowed 6 earned runs on 10 hits, 2 walks, and 1 wild pitch to finish with a Game Score of 29. Bill Duggleby (1-0) covered 2 innings in which he allowed just 1 hit to pick up his first win of the year, followed by Bill Donovan in which he earned his 2nd save of the year for his scoreless inning of work. Sam Leever (16-6) was roughed up on the day, as he served up 7 runs (5 earned) on 10 hits, 2 walks, and 1 wild pitch; Game Score of 42.

The Bronchos hitting attack was led by Ed Delahanty (2 for 4, 2 Triples, 3 RBIs), Dusty Miller (2 for 4, 3 Runs, 1 RBI, 1 Walk, 2 Stolen Bases), and Zeke Wrigley (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Run). The Americans were led by Dave Brain (4 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Stolen Base), John Farrell (2 for 4, Triple, 1 RBI), and Chick Stahl (2 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI).

Of note, Ed Delahanty tied an American League regular season game record with 2 triples on a day in which the Bronchos smashed 4 triples in the game. Not happy about the PofG selection that the game made. I wish there were some way to override.

"Happy Jack" Chesbro (11-12) pitched well but still took the loss as he allowed 3 earned runs on 5 hits and 4 walks for a Game Score of 64. While there was limited offense today from either team, there were a few notable performances. For Boston, Jesse Hoffmeister (1 for 4, Triple, 1 Run, 2 RBIs) and Jiggs Donahue (1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 Stolen Base) played well, while for Washington Cy Seymour (2 for 4, 1 RBI) and Harry Arndt (1 for 2, Double) kept the game close.

Cleveland starter Kid Nichols (9-15) limited the opposition to just 1 unearned run on 6 hits, 1 walk, and 2 hit batsmen to finish with a Game Score of 74. Cy Young (17-5) was solid in his outing but did allow 3 runs (1 earned) on 8 hits and 3 walks for a Game Score of 61. The offensive stars for the Bronchos included Lew Drill (2 for 5, Triple, 1 Run, 1 RBI) and Ed Delahanty (1 for 4, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Walk), while Boston was paced by Bill Lange (2 for 3, Triple, 1 Stolen Base) and Frank Chance (1 for 3, 1 RBI).

Posts: 3,821	Game 97: Cleveland Bronchos vs. Boston Americans A much-needed win for the hometown fans to see, as the Boston Americans (67-30) capitalized on a 5-run 4th inning to take a 6 to 2 victory over the Cleveland Bronchos (42-55). Jesse Tannehill (16-9) allowed just 2 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits and 1 walk on 124 pitches to finish with a Game Score of 74. "Wild Bill" Donovan (15-10) allowed 6 earned runs on 11 hits and 2 walks for a Game Score of 36. The Americans had several players who saw the ball well today, including Jiggs Donahue (2 for 4, Triple, 2 Runs, 2 RBIs), Bill Lange (2 for 5, 1 RBI), Dave Brain (2 for 4, 1 Run), and Frank Chance (1 for 4, 2 RBIs, 1 Stolen Base). Lew Drill (2 for 4, Double, 1 Run) played well in the loss. Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #14 / Career: #35) Attached Images __________________ Life is Good!

Posts: 3,821	Game 98: Cleveland Bronchos vs. Boston Americans With a 6 to 3 lead heading into the 7th inning, things were looking good for the hometown fans. The Cleveland Bronchos (43-55) had other plans though, as they came back to beat the Boston Americans (67-31) by a score of 7 to 6. Cleveland starter Jim Hughes lasted 6 innings in which he allowed 6 earned runs on 10 hits, 2 walks, and 1 wild pitch to finish with a Game Score of 29. Bill Duggleby (1-0) covered 2 innings in which he allowed just 1 hit to pick up his first win of the year, followed by Bill Donovan in which he earned his 2nd save of the year for his scoreless inning of work. Sam Leever (16-6) was roughed up on the day, as he served up 7 runs (5 earned) on 10 hits, 2 walks, and 1 wild pitch; Game Score of 42. The Bronchos hitting attack was led by Ed Delahanty (2 for 4, 2 Triples, 3 RBIs), Dusty Miller (2 for 4, 3 Runs, 1 RBI, 1 Walk, 2 Stolen Bases), and Zeke Wrigley (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Run). The Americans were led by Dave Brain (4 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Stolen Base), John Farrell (2 for 4, Triple, 1 RBI), and Chick Stahl (2 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI). Of note, Ed Delahanty tied an American League regular season game record with 2 triples on a day in which the Bronchos smashed 4 triples in the game. Not happy about the PofG selection that the game made. I wish there were some way to override.

Boston received timely hitting from Chick Stahl (4 for 5, Double, 1 Run), Fred Clarke (3 for 4, Triple, 1 Run, 2 RBIs, 1 Stolen Base), and Cozy Dolan (2 for 3).
