100th Anniversary
BROOKLYN ROBINS
1920 National League Champions
Game #50: Tuesday, June 15, 1920 - BR
Cincinnati Reds vs. Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
DEFENDING CHAMPIONS TAKE SERIES FROM ROBINS THREE GAMES TO ONE
The Reds score early and often, above and beyond what the Robins can withstand. Jeff Pfeffer is wholly ineffective, reliever Clarence Mitchell more so. Making his ninth start of the season Pfeffer yields five earned runs on eight hits and one walk in just three innings pitched. Clarence Mitchell records just one out before being relieved himself but not before surrendering another three runs on four hits. Cincinnati southpaw Dutch Ruether despite allowing five runs on nine hits and five walks improves to 11-3 with a 1.82 ERA. For Brooklyn Hi Myers and Pete Kilduff each drive in two runs apiece, and Ed Konetchy goes 2 for 5 with one run batted in. However the Robins leave ten men on base and are just 3 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Despite homering in yesterday's contest Zack Wheat is now 2 for 26 (.076) over his last seven games. The Robins have now lost six of their last eight games. Meanwhile the Reds take the series three games to one, and reclaim sole possession of first place.
- RECORD: 28-21 (.571)
