5-2 Loss to Excelsiors Extends Montreal Losing Streak | The exploits of pitcher Paul Wayman, who is tied for 5th in the IA in RBI with 61, helped the New York Excelsiors defeat the Montreal Tigers, 5-2. Wayman threw 9.0 innings allowing 2 runs. Wayman, who is tied for 6th in the IA in extra base hits with 31, went the distance for New York. He gave up 2 runs on 12 hits. The victory gives New York a record of 53-29.
The Excelsiors capitalized on an error in the bottom of the third inning. New York was leading 2-0 when Floyd Booker hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put New York in front, 4-0.
"We'd like to put some distance between ourselves and the rest of the division," said Wayman. | | | | |
