Game #3: Sunday, April 18, 1920 - BR
Boston Braves vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Robins Open Series With 9-3 Victory Over Visiting Boston Braves
Boston, who just two days ago expertly whitewashed John McGraw's Giants at the Polo Grounds, today crossed the East River span into Brooklyn where they promptly fall behind 0-4 after just three innings of play at Ebbets Field. Looking to rebound from Thursday's loss against Philadelphia, the Robins rough-up Braves starter Dick Rudolph for six runs on seven hits and one walk through six. Three more Robins cross the plate in the eighth as Brooklyn goes on to post a 9-3 victory over the Braves whom commit five fielding errors resulting in four unearned runs. Getting the start behind the plate Rowdy Elliott is Brooklyn's big man on campus going 3 for 4 with a run scored and four runs batted in, and right fielder Bernie Neis connects on the Robins first home run of the season. Shortstop Chuck Ward is 2 for 3 with a run scored and one run batted in. Zack Wheat goes 2 for 4 with two runs scored. On the bump Brooklyn veteran starter Jeff Pfeffer goes the distance yielding three runs, two earned, on eight hits and one walk with two strikeouts for the victory.
- RECORD: 2-1 (.666)
