100th Anniversary
BROOKLYN ROBINS
1920 National League Champions
Game #121: Friday, August 27, 1920 - BR
Brooklyn Robins vs. Chicago Cubs
Cubs Park
National League is Officially Up for Grabs
By all indications, the National League is up for grabs. We start in Cincinnati, where the defending champion Reds bow to the New York Giants after seventeen innings in the first game of a planned twin bill. They're unable to play the second contest on account of darkness. Back in Chicago, the Robins win their third straight and take their second in a row from the Cubs, thus sliding up one full game into first place. Jeff Pfeffer toes the rubber and is opposed by Cubs veteran Claude Hendrix. Chicago jumps out to a quick lead with runs in the first and second innings. The Robins knot the game with a pair of runs in the third. After trading runs in the fourth, the game proceeds quietly through the seventh. Brooklyn breaks the deadlock with three runs in the eighth en route to a 6-3 victory. Ed Konetchy drives in two runs, Tommy Griffith, Pete Kilduff and Otto Miller drive in one run apiece. Ivy Olson remains hot at the plate with three hits in five at-bats. Zack Wheat is also 3 for 5 with a run scored. But the Robins also hit into five double-plays. Jeff Pfeffer allows three earned runs on fourteen hits and two walks through nine innings for his eleventh victory against eight losses with a 2.95 ERA.
- RECORD: 69-51 (.575)
- 1st Place; 1.0 GA
