| Clippers Send New York Home with 3-0 Loss | In a low-scoring contest between the Baltimore Clippers and the New York Gothams, 33-year old right-handed pitcher Paddy Williamson proved to be the difference. The Baltimore right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-0 Clippers win. Williamson picked up the win for Baltimore, going 7.1 innings. He gave up no runs on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. With the win, Baltimore elevates its record to 5-1.
Harry Simmons, who finished 5th in the FA in home runs with 28 last year, chipped in a solo home run for Baltimore in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 run batted in.
Williamson called the win "a lesson in teamwork." | |
