Due to a couple rainouts, there were 2 games played while the teams scrambled to rearrange their rosters.
#New York Gothams @ Philadelphia Stars
This was an interesting one. Tim Belcher, called up just for this start, did well, holding the Gothams to 2 runs in 5 innings, while Don Sutton gave up 5. So it looked good for the Stars until the Gothams exploded for 8 runs in the 8th inning, on their way to a 12-8 victory.
Joe Adcock tied a league record with 3 homeruns for New York, driving in 5. Adcock had 4 hits and Jimmy Sheckard added 3, all doubles. The Gothams had 10 extra-base hits on the day. George Hendrick had 4 hits for Philadelphia in a losing cause, and Willie Davis and Sherm Lollar added 3 each.
NYG 12 (Jones 8-7) @ PHI 8 (Jonnard 0-2, 1 B Sv; Rojas 1 H; Gomes 1 H)
HRs: NYG – Adcock 3 (9); PHI – Rolen (14), Kluszewski (18).
