Stovey was in a groove all day. The Richmond fans hated to see him approaching the batter's box. He doubled in the 1st inning, smacked a three-run homer in the 3rd inning, ripped a base-knock in the 4th inning, ripped a solo home run in the 8th inning and stroked a one-base hit in the 9th inning. Philadelphia bats were very productive in the 2nd inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 7 hits and the 8th inning with 7 runs on 8 hits. Offensively, Philadelphia was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings. For Mathews(25-7) it was his 3rd shutout this year. The right-handed Mathews lost a no-hitter when Bill Schenck singled with nobody out in the 7th inning. Ed Dugan(0-1) was the losing pitcher. Philadelphia scored big getting 24 runs off him in 9 innings. Richmond's manager was obviously impressed with the pitching of Mathews, 'That guy made us look a little silly out there this afternoon. We just couldn't get to him at all - everything was working for him. I just hope that he got that kinda performance out of his system.'
