OTD Brooklyn Semipros 7/31/1938: Cuban Stars Blank Bay Parkway Dukes at Erasmus Field

From the desk: BROOKLYN SEMIPROS Y BEÍBOL


On Sunday, July 31, 1938, not more than two miles from where I presently live, the Cuban Stars blanked the Bay Parkway Dukes at Erasmus Field, McDonald Avenue at the Avenue M Station along the Culver Line.

GAME ONE - Cuban Stars starter Silvino Ruiz limits the Bay Parkways to just three hits (one for extra bases) and five walks with five strikeouts for the win.  The Dukes pose their only credible threat in the eight when left fielder Johnny McAuliffe's double puts two runners into scoring position.  However, Bay Parkway leaves them both stranded in place.  Duke's starter Abe Spiro surrenders five runs on eleven hits and three walks with two strikeouts through nine in a losing effort.  Stars second baseman Rafael Hechevarría goes 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored, third baseman Clemente Carreras is 1 for 4 with a double and a run scored, and the first baseman Carlos Blanco is 1 for 4 with a stolen base and two runs scored.

GAME TWO: RAINED OUT
