ERASMUS FIELD


On Sunday, May 30, 1938, within two miles from where I presently live, the Bay Parkways semipros split a double-header with the Cuban Stars at Erasmus Field, McDonald Avenue at the Avenue M station along the Culver Line.



GAME ONE:  After scoring in the first inning, the Cuban Stars cling to a 2-0 lead through the fifth.  Bay Parkway finally breaks through for three runs in the sixth scored by Nolan, Posnack, and McCabe.  But their lead does not last.  With single runs in the eighth and ninth innings, the Cuban Giants come away with a late 4-3 victory.  Bay Parkway starter Sam Nahem goes through the whole repertoire of issuing four walks, fanning seven, hitting a batter, and unleashing a wild pitch in a losing effort.  Cuban Stars starter Heliodoro Diaz surrenders three runs on six hits and five walks with two strikeouts for the win.  Bay Parkway left eight runners stranded on base.  The Cuban Stars catcher is likely to be Julio Rojo.


GAME TWO - Bay Parkway rebounds for a 7-1 victory in game two.  Starter Johnny Ubinski limits the Cuban Stars to just one run on six hits and three walks with five strikeouts through nine innings for the win.  He also comes to his own cause with a hit and a run scored.  Pitching for the Cuban Stars, Jimmenez allows seven runs on seven hits, walks three, and strikes out three in a losing effort.   Left fielder Tetelo Vargas drives home catcher Jose Maria Fernandez with the Cuban Stars lone run.
