Blue Caps Win, 5-4, Versus Chicago
The Cleveland Blue Caps beat the Chicago Cyclones, 5-4, in 11 innings. Cleveland starter Jack McKinley pitched a gem. McKinley, now 29-20, was the winner. In 11 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 9, walking 3, and allowing 4 runs. The Blue Caps saw their record improve to 75-38.

Up to bat in the bottom of the 11th, 28-year old catcher Dan Jardine had a chance to be the hero. Chicago pitcher Martin Bird wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Jardine hit a sacrifice fly. The Blue Caps had themselves a thrilling win.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Jardine said in his postgame press conference.
