"WILLIAMS' EIGHTH INNING TRIPLE GIVES
NEWARK DODGERS VICTORY OVER BROOKLYN, 3-2"
On Monday, July 29, 1935, in a scheduled Negro National League match, the host Newark Dodgers defeated the invading Brooklyn Eagles at the local high school stadium.
Facing Newark starter William Bell, the Eagles jump out to an early first-inning lead on center fielder Clarence Griffin's two-run home run, which clears the scoreboard in the right field, with base runner Tex Burnett for the ride.
But William Bell yields no more. The Dodger twirler goes on to toss eight shutout innings, allowing a total of just six hits and two walks with four strikeouts for the win.
Tex Burnett accounts for two of Brooklyn's six hits, while Griffin, Crush Hollaway, Ed Stone, and Javier Perez account for the rest.
Losing pitcher, Will Jackman surrenders three runs on eight hits and no walks with a pair of strikeouts.
Left fielder Jim Williams leads Newark, going 2 for 4 with a double, triple, and a run scored.
The Dodgers push one run across in the second. Afterwhich, the score remains unchanged through the seventh inning. With one out in the eighth, Newark's center fielder Paul Arnold singles. With two outs, third baseman Ray Dandridge beats out a bunt, putting runners on the corners. Williams then follows with a bases-clearing triple off the outfield wall, giving the Dodgers a 3-2 advantage and the final margin of victory.
