OTD Brooklyn Semipros 8/30/1935: Former Brooklyn Dodger Hurler Dazzy Vance Makes Bushwick Debut, But Springfield Wins at Dexter Park

From the desk: BROOKLYN SEMIPROS



On Friday, August 30, 1935, a 42-year old former three-time 20-game winner for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Dazzy Vance makes his Bushwick debut in a contest against the Springfield Greys at Dexter Park.




Right-hander Dazzy Vance faced the minimum six batters over the first two innings for Bushwick, inducing two fly balls, one groundout, and striking out three batters.

After two scoreless innings, Bushwick left fielder Al Moore knocks home two runs in the third inning against Springfield starter Charley Cerny.  But Bushwick would score no more.  Charley Cerney holds the Dexters scoreless over the game's final six frames.  All told, he allows a lone run on six hits and six walks with eight strikeouts for the win.

With Dazzy Vance out of the game, the Greys tally four runs on twelve hits against Rube Chambers, who takes the loss.  Springfield amasses 14 total hits, but only two off Art Smith during his two innings pitched.
