On Sunday, May 29, 1908, within two miles of where I presently live, Bay Ridge won both games of a doubleheader against the aggregation from New Brunswick, New Jersey, at Ridger's Park, 86th Street, and 15th Avenue, Brooklyn.
GAME ONE - Starting for Bay Ridge, McGuire keeps New Brunswick scoreless through the first five. After which, the visitors from New Jersey strike for three runs in the sixth and one in the seventh. However, by then, all Bay Ridge's eleven runs had already been annotated into the ledger. McGuire yields seven hits, walks none, strikes out four, and even helps his own cause at the plate with a triple. Bay Ridge tallies twelve hits off three Brunswick pitchers, with three going for extra bases en route to an 11-4 victory.
GAME TWO - Weber starts for Bay Ridge, allowing just one run on five hits and four walks in a seven-inning contest. Center fielder Hoke Beazley and right fielder Babe Fischer join together on four hits in six at-bats with a run and wrap up the twin bill with four hits apiece. Boda, the visiting shortstop, scores New Brunswick's lone run in the fifth. Bay Ridge posts five runs on nine hits, two going for extra bases, and three walks issued by Kubiak. This marks Bay Ridge's third twin bill sweep this season.
