On Sunday, June 9, 1918, the Brooklyn Royal Giants swept a double-header from Bushwick at Dexter Park.
GAME ONE - Brooklyn Royal Giants' right-hander Tom Williams faces off against Van Essen for Bushwick. Each offers a fine performance. All runs are scored in the fourth inning. With two on base in the top of the frame, Giants' right fielder Johnny Pugh doubles home two runs. Otherwise, Van Essen yields seven hits on three walks with four strikeouts in a losing effort. Tom Williams limits Bushwick to one run in the bottom of the frame scored by the right fielder, Crist. Otherwise, Williams allows seven hits and four walks with four strikeouts for the win. Shortstop Joe Hewitt accounts for three of Brooklyn's hits.
GAME TWO - Royal Giants starter Irvin Brooks limits Bushwick to no runs and hits through the fifth. That is until Bushwick erupts for six runs in the sixth to grab a 6-5 lead. Brooklyn ties the game in the seventh. The score remains unchanged through the tenth. The Royal Giants then seize an 8-6 lead when center fielder Tom Fiall triples, driving home two runs. Brooks allows four hits and five walks with four strikeouts in a six-inning effort for the win. Right fielder Louis Santop lashes two hits with a stolen base; he played catcher in game one.
