WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Eddie Collins robbed Yogi Berra of a base hit.

Third baseman Mel Ott lofted one into the 'cheap seats' at Shibe Park as the
Limerick Hurlers beat the Cleveland Mayors 5 to 4.

Limerick came through with the game-winning runs in the bottom of the 8th
inning scoring 2 runs using 2 hits.  Ott kicked off the action when he
smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' (his 15th of the season).  Hal Trosky stepped
into the batter's box and he ripping a solo home run (his 2nd of the season).
Cleveland made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the
needed runs across. 

Wilbur Cooper(3-2) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the win. Cooper got help
from Lady Baldwin who was credited with his 5th save.  Dwight Gooden(2-5) was
hit with the loss. He served up 4 homeruns in his 7 innings.
