Sailors Beat Kings, 5-4 | The San Francisco Sailors topped the Kansas City Kings, 5-4, in Continental Association action at Golden Gate Stadium. The standout performance belonged to San Francisco pitcher and Morton, Pennsylvania, native Danny Hern. Hern, who is tied for 9th in the CA in complete games with 2, went the distance for San Francisco. He gave up 4 runs on 9 hits. With the win, the Sailors have a record of 17-14.
Had George Rutter not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Rutter hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Sailors.
"We had the game right there for the taking," said Kansas City manager Glenn Carney. "But we decided not to take it." | |
