Chicago ChiFeds
vs
Brooklyn Tip Tops
FROM
WASHINGTON PARK
Brooklyn rebounds from Wednesday's disheartening 9-8 loss with a much needed victory in Thursday's series finale against the Packers. The Tips Tops take the series against Kansas City four games against two, and creep 6.5 games back of the Hoosiers.
Kansas City opens the scoring on shortstop Johnny Rawlings hit in the fourth. But the Tip Tops respond with singles runs in the bottom half of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Al Halt is 2 for 3 with a double and run batted in. Steve Evans lifts his average to .357 on 2 for 4 with his 92nd run batted in of the season. Jim Delahanty accounts for the Tip Tops third run batted in. Starter Bill Chappelle allows the one earned run on on just four hits and three walks with two strikeouts through 5.1 innings pitched for the victory. However, an increasingly desperate Bill Bradley summons usual starter Ed Lafitte from the bullpen. Lafitte obliges his manager allowing one unearned run on just one hit and no walks with four strikeouts through the games final 3.2 innings.
Now it's onward to Chicago where Joe Tinker's ChiFeds have moved within one game of first place Indianapolis. There's yet hope for these Tip Tops.
COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE NOW!
