Robins Returning to Brooklyn for the Final Home Stretch
Wednesday is a productive day for the Robins. In defeating the Phillies they gain the series win, extend their winning streak to three and reestablish a tie for first place with the Reds. Philadelphia's Cy Williams is 2 for 4 with a double and three runs batted in and catcher Walt Tragesser homers in the seventh, but it's not enough. Brooklyn starter Jeff Pfeffer, who extends his record to 10-1 over his last fifteen appearances, goes the distance yielding four earned runs on ten hits and three walks with five strikeouts for his thirteenth victory of the season with a 2.94 ERA. Brooklyn executes a double steal with Jimmy Johnston swiping home as part of a three run third. They score twice more in the fourth on Ed Konetchy's home run and a sac-fly from Ivy Olson. After which the Robins hold on for a 7-4 final. Ivy Olson is 2 for 4 with a double, a run scored and two runs batted in. Getting the start in right field, Bill Lamar goes 2 for 5 with a double, a run scored and one run batted in. The Cincinnati Reds are idle, but the New York Giants sweep a twin bill at Braves Field to close within 1.5 games of first place. The Robins have 21 games remaining on their schedule, with all but two slated for play at Ebbets Field. Cincinnati visits Brooklyn mid-month who then close out the regular season with a five game home and home series against the New York Giants and a one game finale against the Braves.
