Brooklyn Robins vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Baker Bowl
Robins Open First Road Trip With Loss Against Phillies at Baker Bowl
Brooklyn's first road trip of the season brings them to the City of Brotherly Love. They open Thursday afternoon's scoring with haste on third baseman Jimmy Johnston's first inning hit plating lead-off hitter Ivy Olson from second base. However the Phillies quickly tie things up in the second. In the fourth Philadelphia scores an unearned run for a 2-1 lead. The Robins answer right back. Leading off the third inning first baseman Ed Konetchy doubles, and Chuck Ward follows with a walk. Rowdy Elliott follows with a bunt fielded by Phillies starter Lee Meadows whom throws errantly allowing both Konetchy and Ward to score. Unfortunately Brooklyn's 3-2 lead is short lived as Philadelphia tallies two more runs in the eighth en route to a 4-3 victory in the first of three games scheduled at Baker Bowl. Robins hurler Jeff Pfeffer is tagged with his first defeat after yielding four runs (three earned) on eight hits and a walk, with one strikeout through eight innings of work. His counterpart Lee Meadows surrenders just five hits and strikes out eight Robins in a victorious complete game effort. Philadelphia right fielder Casey Stengel is 2 for 4 with a double and a run batted in. Zack Wheat extends his season launching hitting streak to six games with a 1 for 3 day at the plate.
- RECORD: 4-2 (.666)
