| Baltimore Reeling, as Skid Hits 9 Games | Pitching was the name of the game in a tight contest between the Philadelphia Keystones and the Baltimore Clippers. Philadelphia won it, 2-0. Philadelphia starter James Powers was in command. In 7 innings, Powers surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. He allowed no runs. Jim Steuber was credited with the save for Philadelphia, his 20th of the season.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bill Viviano? The Philadelphia shortstop had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Keystones on top, 1-0. For the game, Viviano had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"I wish I had a genie in a bottle," said losing manager Hank Luckenbaugh. "First thing I'd ask for is a win."
Philadelphia is now 65-75, Baltimore 69-69. | |
