100 Years Ago Today 5/30/1920: Brooklyn Robins Win Third Straight Against Braves

From the desk of:  FINGERPRINTS OF THE BUMS

100th Anniversary
BROOKLYN ROBINS
1920 National League Champions

Game #34: Sunday, May 30, 1920 - BR
Boston Braves vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field

Brooks Win Third Straight; Brace for New York Giants

No Ed Konetchy?  No Problem.  Minus their top run producer and starting first baseman the Robins average five runs a game during their now concluded four game series against the Braves.  Brooklyn wins Sunday's series finale and takes the series three games to one.  Sherry Smith wins his second game against two losses with a lowered 1.62 earned run average.  He allows two runs, one earned, on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts through nine complete.  Zack Wheat leads the charge with three hits in four at-bats, two runs scored and two runs batted in.  Hi Myers is 2 for 4 also with two runs batted in.

  • RECORD: 19-14 (.575)
  • 3rd place; 1.5 GB
