100th Anniversary
BROOKLYN ROBINS
1920 National League Champions
Game #24: Friday, May 21, 1920 - BR
Brooklyn Robins vs. Cincinnati Reds
Redland Field
Leon Cadore Whitewashes Defending Champions; Brooklyn Salvages Split at Cincinnati
How quickly the tables turn. What ever message delivered by Wilbert Robinson to his club prior to Friday's series finale at Redland Field appears to have been well received. Brooklyn reverts to its strength en route to exacting their own whitewashing of the defending champs. This time it is Leon Cadore who pitches a gem yielding but six hits and just one walk with a pair of strikeouts through nine scoreless innings for the complete game shutout victory. He improves to 3-1 and lowers his ERA to a stellar 1.10 mark. At the plate Brooklyn strings together five consecutive hits leading off the fifth inning generating a three run lead and final margin of victory. Pete Kilduff, Ivy Olson, and even Leon Cadore each drive in a run apiece. Reds starter Hod Eller yields all three Brooklyn runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings pitched.
