BROOKLYN ROBINS
1920 National League Champions
Game #12: Friday, April 30, 1920 - BR
Brooklyn Robins vs. Boston Braves
Braves Field
Braves Hurler Hugh McQuillan Whitewashes Visiting Brooklyn; Robins Cede First Place to Idle Cincinnati Reds.
Opening their second road trip of the season Brooklyn's veteran Jeff Pfeffer pitches well, but on this day the younger less experienced Boston Braves hurler Hugh McQuillan is better. Making his first start this season Boston's 23-year old right-hander limits the Brooks to just four scattered hits and one walk while fanning three through nine scoreless innings pitched for the win. Zack Wheat, Hi Myers, Ed Konetchy, and McGuillan's counterpart Jeff Pfeffer are the only Robins to hit safely. Boston inflicts all their damage during a three run fourth. Robins shortstop Chuck Ward commits two errors in the game one of which leads to an unearned run, while Braves first baseman Walter Holke and third baseman Tony Boeckel each drive in a run apiece. Despite a representative performance Brooklyn's Jeff Pfeffer (1-2) is tagged with his second defeat of the season. His line reads two earned runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts through eight innings work. Alas Jeff receives no run support. With the loss Brooklyn falls in the standings one-half game behind the now first place Cincinnati Reds. Zack Wheat has now hit safely in 11 of 12 gamed to begin the season.
- RECORD: 8-4 (.666)
