In a startling finish the Worcester Ruby Legs staged a comeback then held on
to win over the Cleveland Blues by a score of 11 to 10 at Kennard Street
Park.
Worcester had the winning rally in the 9th inning with 3 runs using 2 hits.
Arthur Irwin got things going when he ripped a single. Hick Carpenter
followed and he drew a walk. Pete Hotaling then reached on an error
resulting in a run. Fred Corey came up and he reached on an error plating
another run. George Creamer stepped into the box and laid down a sacrifice
bunt. Doc Bushong added to the outburst and stroked a one-base hit scoring
the final run of the inning. Cleveland scored in 5 different innings, but
their shaky pitching kept them from victory.
Lee Richmond(5-10) went 8 innings allowing 10 runs for the victory. Billy
Taylor gained credit for his 1st save. Jim McCormick(6-7) was given the
loss. He was not very effective, surrendering 11 runs in 8 and 2/3 innings.
Mike Dorgan was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last at
bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there?
You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead. But, hey, that's what
makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over
'til its over.'
