With Late Score, Monarchs Beat Bannermen
The Cincinnati Monarchs faced a tough opponent in Baltimore pitcher Bill Silvers, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Queen City Grounds II by a final score of 5-4 in 16 innings. Silvers went 15.2 innings and allowed 5 runs. Tom Bell snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 2 innings. He's now 22-20 on the season. The win puts Cincinnati at 65-50 this season.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the 16th, an error by the Bannermen allowed the Monarchs to score the winning run.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Bell said in his postgame press conference.
