BROOKLYN ROBINS
1920 National League Champions
Game #48: Sunday, June 13, 1920 - BR
Cincinnati Reds vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Brooklyn Drops Second Straight to Defending Champs; Robins Fifth Loss in Last Six Game
Rube Marquard and the Brooklyn Robins end up on the wrong side of an otherwise brilliant pitcher's duel at Ebbets Field. Very much looking like his old self again, Marquard allows just one earned run on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts through eight innings work. His only mistake is unleashing a wild pitch in the top of the fifth putting first baseman Jake Daubert into scoring position. Naturally center fielder Edd Rouch last year's batting champion drives him home with a hit to center. Cincinnati right-hander Jimmy Ring likewise yields six hits and one walk with three strikeouts but in a victorious nine inning whitewashing of the Robins. For Edd Roush, his 26th run batted in of the season. Jake Daubert the former Brooklyn Robin traded to the Reds in exchange for Tommy Griffith is 1 for 4 with the only run scored. The Robins threaten with one out in the eighth and runners on the corners but Jimmy Johnston grounds into a classic inning ending 6-4-3 double play. Whereas Robins first baseman Ed Konetchy seems to have gotten off the schneid with two hits in four at-bats, Zack Wheat not so much as he is now a mere 1 for 19 since returning to action. First place of the National League changes hands again, as Brooklyn slides back into second place one-half game behind the defending champion Cincinnati Reds. The Robins trail the Reds in the series two games to none, and are now losers of four in a row.
