The Cleveland Clippers polished off the Baltimore Bannermen by the score of 7-4. The largest share of the credit belonged to shortstop Bird Brennan. Brennan went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Clippers. Weldon Skinner picked up the win with 9 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 11 hits, while walking 6 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 2-9. Baltimore has now lost 4 in a row.

Brennan had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a 0-1 fastball from Nate Shine, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Clippers a 5-3 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Brennan.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Brennan told the Cleveland Bulletin.
