For the first time in his professional
career, Babe did not complete a game that he started as a pitcher. Babe had a 3-0 lead going into the third
inning, but could only manage to get one batter out in the inning and gave up 2
runs on 3 hits, before being relieved. The
Rochester Hustlers went on to score 5 runs in the inning. But, the Orioles came back to win the game
8-7. Babe did not factor in the
decision. His record remained 4-3. Overall, the Orioles were 15-9 for the
season.
