Baltimore Beats Memphis, 5-1
The rain did not keep Baltimore and Memphis from finishing their game.

The Baltimore Black Sox downed the Memphis Red Sox, 5-1, at Fenway Park. Curt Blefary led the way, going 3-for-4 for Baltimore. Baltimore pitcher Mark Baldwin earned the win, hiking his record to 1-0. Tom Seaver suffered the loss.

Cal Ripken Jr had a big 2-run home run for the Black Sox in the top of the fourth inning. With Baltimore leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Seaver and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Black Sox on top, 3-0.

"I thought we played a nice game," Ripken Jr told the Baltimore Gazette. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."

Memphis falls to 2-3.
