Mel Ott had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the Limerick Hurlers topped the Athens Bobkittens by a score of 6 to 4 at Tiger Stadium. Athens fell behind quickly as the Limerick offense came through in the first inning as they scored 4 runs on 4 base hits. The big moment was provided by Ott who silenced the crowd when he tripled bringing in two baserunners. Athens had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Cy Young(1-0) got the win allowing 4 runs in 6 innings. Babe Adams gained credit for his 1st save. The loss was charged to Carl Mays(0-1). He surrendered 10 hits and 3 walks in 8 innings. Athens' manager was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one. That is what really ticks me off!' |
