Robins Seize Upon Cardinal Errors

Brooklyn pulls even with St. Louis at a game apiece.  Two errors in the seventh inning by Cardinals shortstop Doc Lavan and center fielder Jack Smith pave the way for Otto Miller scoring the go ahead run and an eventual 3-2 margin of victory.  Miller scores on a wild pitch back in the second, and in the fifth Ivy Olson drives in his fourteenth run this season.  Starter Jeff. Pfeffer yields two runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts for his third victory of the season.  Today's victory coupled with Cincinnati's loss against the Giants give the Robins a 2.5 game lead over the defending champion Reds.  After sitting out the last eight games with an injury Zack Wheat returns to the lineup.

  • RECORD: 27-16 (.627)
  • 1st place; 2.5 GA
