Sailors Clip Foresters, 4-3
The 1951 season did not get off to quite the start the Cleveland Foresters had hoped, with an opening day loss to the Philadelphia Sailors at Forester Stadium. The final score was 4-3. Starting Pitcher Win Lewis was the top performer for Philadelphia. The winner was Lewis. He threw 9.0 innings of 8-hit ball. The loser was Adrian Czerwinski. Jackie James earned the save for Philadelphia, his 1st of the year.

Philadelphia used the timely hitting of Billy Forbes to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Sailors on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We battled our tails off to get this win," said Philadelphia manager Billy Rose.
