Gothams Win to Extend Series Lead to 2-0
Despite a great performance by Cleveland starter Bill Steen, the New York Gothams defeated the Spiders by the score of 4-3 at League Park today. Steen threw 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball, but he couldn't prevent the Gothams from moving one game closer to the Round 2. New York now leads the Round 1 2-0.

New York used the timely hitting of Carl Furillo to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Gothams on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Furillo.

Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Polo Grounds in New York.
