100th Anniversary
BROOKLYN ROBINS
1920 National League Champions
Game #97: Thursday, July 29, 1920 - BR
Cincinnati Reds vs, Brooklyn Robins
Ebbets Field
Dolf Luque Outlasts Leon Cadore; Brooklyn Wilts in Ninth
Those resilient Reds, leave it up to the defending champs for snatching victory from seemingly certain defeat. A late inning surge is just enough to get them passed Brooklyn for the second time in three games. Zack Wheat's first inning triple and run batted in is promptly negated in the second inning by Reds right fielder Greasy Neale's two out base hit and run batted in. The Robins and Reds once again trade runs, the Robins in the sixth on a Hi Myer's sac-fly scoring Tommy Griffith, and the Reds in the seventh on left fielder Pat Duncan's base hit scoring Jake Daubert. This game ultimately gains resolution in the ninth. With starter Leon Cadore still hurling for Brooklyn, Duncan strokes a one out triple, and scores on a Larry Kopf sac-fly to center field. Reds starter Dolf Luque in the bottom of the ninth retires the Robins in order to close out his seventh victory for the season. Leon Cadore, making his 19th start of the season, allows three runs, two earned, on eight hits and a walk, with one strikeout. With the loss he falls to 7-9 with a 2.38 ERA. The four game series concludes tomorrow.
- RECORD: 55-41 (.572)
- First Place; 1.5 GA
