On Thursday, July 26, 1934, not more than two miles from where I presently live, the House of David club defeats the local Ridgers at Bay Ridge Oval, 15th Avenue at 86th Street.
Despite yielding 14 hits, Bay Ridge starter Abe Spiro allows only four runs and no walks with ten strikeouts in a hard-luck loss.
A native of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, House of David starter Harry Kowenhoven limits Bay Ridge to just a pair of runs on six hits and two walks with 18 strikeouts for the win.
Only Pierce, the second baseman, wielded multiple hits for Bay Ridge, including a triple, and Abe Spiro lashed a double in four at-bats. House of Davis left fielder Red Ramsey goes 4 for 4 with a run scored.
