#Brooklyn Royal Giants
Duke Snider went deep twice, but Brooklyn needed a single from John Briggs in the bottom of the 9th to best Birmingham, 7-6.
Mike Piazza hit 2 out to reach 23 on the year as Brooklyn topped the Gothams 9-3.
#Homestead Grays
Andrew McCutchen had 4 hits, scored twice, and hit 2 homeruns as the Grays beat Birmingham, 13-7. Perhaps more importantly, Cliff Lee was solid on the mound in a spot start, earning his first victory of the year.
#New York Gothams
Benny Kauff hit a walkoff dinger in the bottom of the 10th to give the Gothams a 10-9 win over the House of David.
Needing a starter, the highly ineffective Tony Mullane was sent to AAA, with Rube Waddell being recalled for the outing. Waddell was injured in his outing, placed on the DL, and Guy Hecker was recalled in the Gothams never-ending search for reliable arms.
Johnny Callison went deep twice and the Gothams poured on runs throughout in a 10-3 defeat of the House of David.
#Ottawa Mounties
Gary Carter went deep twice but it wasn’t enough as the Mounties fell to Homestead, 8-5.
#Philadelphia Stars
Ray Collins took Larry Jackson‘s place in the Stars’ rotation and Art Fletcher took over from Jimmy Rollins as the everyday shortstop.
Aaron Judge went deep twice, leading the Stars to an 8-2 win over Houston.
This lineup is so much more dangerous if Ted Kluszewski gets his bat working. Klu went deep twice, as did Chase Utley, and the Stars weathered some rough pitching to beat Houston 11-9 in 12 innings.
