OTD 6/28/1935: Bay Ridge Falls in Ninth Inning to New York Cubans at Dykman Oval

From the desk: NEGRO LEAGUES & BROOKLYN SEMIPOROS


On Friday, June 28, 1935, Brooklyn's Bay Ridge nine fall in a tightly contested affair against the New York Cubans at Dykman Oval, Inwood section of Manhattan.



New York opens the scoring in the sixth, and Bay Ridge ties the game in the seventh.  Lopez scores for the Cubans, and starter Joe Stryker crosses the plate for Bay Ridge.   Otherwise, Joe Stryker and the Cubans' tandem of Heliodoro Diaz and Luis Tiant duel to a one-all tie through eight.

Facing Stryker in the home ninth, right fielder Alejandro Oms triples off the right-field wall, then scores the winning run on first baseman Lazaro Salazar's base hit.

In a hard-luck loss, Joe Stryker yields but two runs on six hits and just one walk through nine.  Diaz walks one and strikes out three but exits to a no-decision.  Luis Tiant earns the win in relief of Stryker.

Fritz Knothe leads Bay Ridge with three hits, and Jeff McDonald wields a triple in the seven but is left stranded.
