On Tuesday, August 31, 1920, the Brooklyn Royal Giants trek to Pennsylvania where they duel the Parkesburg Iron Company to a three-all tie after fifteen innings. The game is called due to darkness.
Starting for Parkesburg, Olsen goes the distance allowing three runs on six hits and just one walk with eleven strikeouts. For Brooklyn, right-hander Jessie Hubbard yields three runs on seven hits and six walks with 13 strikeouts.
The Royal Giants open with a run in the first, but the Iron Company ties in the second. The score then remains unchanged through the seventh inning. Parkesburg plates a pair in the eighth, but the Giants respond with two of their own in the ninth, sending the game into extra innings. After six more scoreless innings, darkness thwarts further play.
First baseman Eddie Douglass wields a double and scores. Third baseman Louis Miller also hits safely, and scores and center fielder Tom Fiall accounts for Brooklyn's third run.
