Game #5: Tuesday, April 20, 1920 - BR
Boston Braves vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Leon Cadore Hurls 11-Inning Gem; Robins Sweep Braves
Starter Leon Cadore outlasts his counterpart Joe Oescher in extra innings as the Brooklyn Robins complete a three game sweep of Boston. In an otherwise stellar performance the Braves right-hander yields twelve hits and just one walk through ten scoreless innings pitched. However Cadore is better, if not brilliant. Making his second start of the season Caddy limits the Braves to just seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts through eleven scoreless innings. In the home eleventh two of Wilbert Robinson's earlier substitutions step forward. Leading off catcher Rowdy Elliott hits safely. Then with two outs center fielder Wally Hood doubles home Elliot all the way from first base for the victory. Inserted into the clean-up spot Zack Wheat enjoys his fourth multi hit game in the Robins first five contests, going 3 for 4 with a walk. Brooklyn travels to Philadelphia where the Robins on Thursday will open a three game series against the Phillies at the Baker Bowl.
- RECORD: 4-1 (.800)
- 1st place, tied
