Columbians Get 10-4 Win Versus Detroit
The Detroit Sturgeons got a sterling performance from pitcher Bob Newton, but the New York Columbians still prevailed, 10-4. Newton came in in relief and pitched to 17 batters. Martin Bird, who is tied for 8th in the FL in complete games with 6, was the winning pitcher. Over 9 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 10 hits, with no walks and 7 strikeouts. The defeat makes the Sturgeons 7-14.

Brick Cornwall hit a bases-clearing triple off Norm Mason in the bottom of the first, which put the Columbians in front, 4-2. Cornwall had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 4.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Cornwall told the New York Bulletin.
