| Bannermen Best Monarchs in Pitching Duel | Queen City Grounds II was the site of a remarkable pitchers' duel.
Kenneth Ranson pitched well, but the Cincinnati Monarchs still lost the game, falling, 2-1, to the Baltimore Bannermen at Queen City Grounds II. Hugh Brigand was the winner. Over 9 innings, he yielded 1 run on 8 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts.
Bill Silvers drove in one run for Baltimore. The 27-year old right-handed pitcher had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With no one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Kenneth Ranson. It was his 51st RBI of the season.
"I just try to put up zeroes," said Silvers, "and let the rest take care of itself."
Baltimore goes to 50-54, Cincinnati to 57-49.
