Royal Giants Post 5-4 Win Over Homestead
The Brooklyn Royal Giants topped the Homestead Grays, 5-4, in National League action at Forbes Field. The standout performance belonged to Brooklyn pitcher and Seguin, Texas, native Smokey Joe Williams. The winning pitcher was Williams, now 10-9. He tossed 7.2 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 10. The Brooklyn win streak is now 5 games.

Brooklyn used the hitting of Dan Brouthers to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royal Giants on top, 5-1. For the game, Brouthers had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Williams told reporters after the game: "This one was touch and go, but we were able to put it in the win column."
