Foresters Improve to 78-51 with 2-1 Win | Starting pitcher Gordie Irwin was a major factor in the 2-1 Cleveland Foresters triumph over the Chicago Cougars. Walt Hill got the save, his 17th in 22 chances. The Continental Association-leading Foresters have a record of 78-51.
Had Orie Martinez not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Martinez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Foresters.
"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Irwin said after the game. | |
