Baltimore Scrapes Out 6-4 Win
Baltimore registered a win at Lakefront Park by beating the Cleveland Clippers, 6-4. Pitcher Bill Silvers was one reason why the Bannermen triumphed. Silvers yielded 4 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 11 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 3-7. The win gives Baltimore a record of 13-13.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Israel Thompson came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Cleveland pitcher Dan Hicks, he hit a first pitch screwball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Baltimore on top, 5-4.

Baltimore manager was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard, they played all the way through," he said.
