On Friday, June 16, 1921, the Brooklyn Royal Giants, with a 7-2 victory, spoil the Asbury Park Meadowbrooks season opener at Athletic Grounds, New Jersey.
Brooklyn starter Otis Starks limits the Meadowbrooks to a pair of runs on just four hits and six walks with four strikeouts in a winning effort. Ashbury Park's scoring comes on a two-run inside the park home run by Heath, the first baseman, in the fifth.
On the mound for the Meadowbrooks, Huntley yields seven runs on twelve hits. Second baseman Irvin Brooks accounts for Brooklyn's lone extra-base hit. Otherwise, Huntley walks three and strikes out one in a losing effort. Royal Giants' left fielder Bob Scott goes 3 for 4 with a run scored, and first baseman and manager Eddie Douglas likewise wields three hits in four at-bats, with three runs scored. Third baseman Johnson Hill and right fielder Jesse Hubbard account for two his each.
