Blue Caps Squeeze By Philadelphia, 3-2 | In a low-scoring contest between the Cleveland Blue Caps and the Philadelphia Unions, Dan Hicks, who is tied for 5th in the FL with a 4.5 K/9 rate, proved to be the difference. The Cleveland right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Blue Caps win. With the win, Cleveland has a record of 15-7. Philadelphia falls to 7-15.
Cleveland needed the clutch hitting of Dick Stubbs to seal the deal. The center fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Caps on top, 3-2. For the game, Stubbs had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"We found a way to get it done," Stubbs said. | | | | |
