Rube Waddell(2-1) struggled but was good enough to win with the help of some fine defensive plays. He gave up 11 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings. Waddell recorded 7 strikeouts and allowed 2 gopher balls. Bat Cracking scored in 5 different innings, but their shaky pitching kept them from victory. Larry Corcoran(0-3) was the losing pitcher. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 7 runs in 4 innings. Center fielder Bobby Bonds slammed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI in a losing cause for Bat Cracking. |
