OTD Brooklyn Semipros 7/20/1934: Bay Parkway Dukes Outlast Bushwick at Dexter Park

From the desk: BROOKLYN SEMIPROS 


On Sunday, July 20, 1934, in a battle between brothers, Joe Rosner's Bay Parkway Dukes outslug Max Rosner's Bushwicks at Dexter Park, Woodhaven.


In a back and forth affair, Bay Parkway starter Big Ike Gould outlasts both Bushwick starter Mike DeMucchio and reliever Art Smith for the win.  Gould also flashes his leather skills, initially snaring two potential Bushwick hits laced back through the box.  With Bushwick trailing 10-8 in the ninth, Gould snatches yet another comebacker off the bat of third baseman Buck Lai.  Afterwhich, Bushwick shortstop Dutch Woerner triples, bringing to the plate recent center field acquisition Frank Schreich representing the tying run.  With two outs, Gould offers, and Schreich sends a fly deep to center field where George Andrews cradles the ball for the final out.  

Big Ike Gould yields eight runs on eleven hits and two walks with five strikeouts in a winning effort.  Bushwick right fielder Ed Boland poses Gould's biggest threat, going 3 for 4 with a home run; Dutch Woerner and Eppie Barnes also wield multiple hits for the visiting Dexters.

Bushwick's Mike DeMucchio surrenders seven runs on nine hits, and a walk with three strikeouts in just five innings pitched but escapes with a no-decision.  Smith allows three late runs for the loss.  Duke shortstop Roy Tarr goes 3 for 5 with a home run, and right fielder Bruce Caldwell likewise goes 3 for 5 with a double.  The two team up to drive in seven runs for Joe Rosner's Dukes.
