Brahmins Get Hard-Earned Win
The Cleveland Clippers inaugurated their 1888 season with a tough 8-7 loss to the Boston Brahmins at Lakefront Park. First Baseman Pete Applegate had perhaps the best performance for Boston. Lloyd Dehaan, the winning pitcher, is now 1-0. He went 9 innings, allowing 7 runs on 12 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 2.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Jim Strouse came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Cleveland pitcher Harold Williams, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Boston on top, 8-7.

"It's nice to see a lot of guys make contributions," said Brahmins manager .
