The Cleveland Mayors came in to the game in quite a tailspin, but they were able to snap their 5 game slide and defeated the Grand River Ghostmen by a score of 7 to 4 at League Park. Cleveland jumped on top of Grand River in the 7th inning with 2 runs utilizing 3 base hits. Paul Waner started the inning off right when he ripped a base-knock. Eddie Collins stepped up next and he singled. Collins took his lead and swiped second. Rod Carew was up next and he would ground out plating a run. George Sisler stepped into the box and stroked a single scoring the final run of the inning. Grand River was out-hit by Cleveland, 12 hits to 8. Al Spalding(7-2) allowed 4 runs in 7 innings, and picked up the victory. Dennis Eckersley got the save, his 14th. Rube Waddell(5-5) was given the loss. Cleveland's manager was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back. Now maybe we can relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.' |
