Black Sox Victors, 6-4, at Miami
The Baltimore Black Sox racked up a win at Baker Bowl, bumping off the Miami Cuban Giants, 6-4. Bill Byrd, who started for Baltimore, pitched effectively for his team. The Black Sox sport a record of 20-32.

Baltimore won the game in part because of Cal Ripken Jr. The shortstop ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Black Sox ahead, 4-2. For the game, Ripken Jr had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Ripken Jr told the Baltimore Today.
