Detroit Drops Another One, 10-9
Runs were plentiful at Lakeside Grounds.

The Cleveland Blue Caps had to overcome a big game from Detroit first baseman Wilbur Chase to leave Lakeside Grounds with a victory. And they did, winning, 10-9. Chase was 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Roger Branson earned the save for Cleveland, his 1st of the year.

The Sturgeons had been locked in a 9-9 tie with the Blue Caps going into the bottom of the seventh inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old catcher Dan Jardine came to the plate. Jardine hit a run-scoring double on a full count fastball from Detroit hurler Bob Newton. It was Jardine's 3rd double of the year.

"If we keep winning the close games," Jardine said, "we'll be in good shape at the end."

Cleveland, now 9-5, has played well in the early going.
