TEAM RISP- Orioles: 5 for 16  Colts: 0 for 5

George Blackburn was able to finish what he started and was credited with a
complete game and Jake Stenzel had 2 base hits and 5 RBI as the very potent
Baltimore Orioles smashed the overmatched Chicago Colts, 12 to 1.

Baltimore set the tone of the game in the first inning scoring 2 runners on 1
hit.  That early run support was enough for Blackburn(2-0) and Baltimore.
Baltimore managed 15 hits in their victory.  

Jimmy Callahan(8-11) was given the loss.  His ERA ballooned from 3.87 to 4.26
as he allowed 12 runs in 9 innings.  With this win, Baltimore has a league
leading 46-19 record.  They have been 7-3 lately.  Still in a bad slump, with
this loss, Chicago is 2-8 lately and 28-42 on the year.
