Baltimore 7
Providence 4 – Babe Ruth Relief Pitcher – 6 2/3 innings – 1 for 4 at bat Tripled
The
Orioles took a five run lead in the first inning, but pitcher Danforth, gave up
a run in the second and two more in the third.
Babe Ruth came in as a relief pitcher and held the Grays to one run and
four hits in 6 2/3 innings to preserve the Orioles 7-4 victory. He struck out two, walked four and hit one
batter. He also started a double play in
the field and tripled in the ninth inning knocking in the last Orioles run. Since Danforth only pitched 2 1/3 innings, he
could not be credited with a victory even though the Orioles led when he left
the game. Ruth should be credited with a
victory, increasing his record to 6-3 and the Orioles overall record to 19-12
for the season.
