Gothams K-O Chiefs, 2-0 | Left-hander Red Blanchard mesmerized the Chicago Chiefs while leading the New York Gothams to a 2-0 victory. Chicago has now lost 4 straight.
With scoring opportunities rare, the Gothams had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the second, when right fielder Rex Pilcher hit a 2-run single. The single came off Paul Magee and made the score 2-0, Gothams. Pilcher went 1-3 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs.
"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Pilcher told the New York Citizen. | |
