Tribe stun Highlanders with comeback [/FONT][/center] Lance Parrish (HER) homered to tie the game and Bill McKechnie (1914 IND FL) plated the game-winning run in walk-off fashion and the Indians knocked out the Highlanders 7-6.

Cumberland Valley at Turkey Island
Amish take 5-1 win with big ninth [/FONT][/center] A 1-1 ballgame was broken open by four runs in the top of the ninth and Cumberland Valley put away the Susquehannocks 5-1. Lefty Joe Klink (1990 OAK) did not do his job in relief of Pat Malone (1928 CUB). Two left-hand hitters drove in runs with singles off Klink. Les Bell (1926 SLN) doubled two more runs in off Stan Belinda (1993 PIT). George Winter (1906 BOA) worked 6 1/3 innings, giving up one run on 10 hits and three walks. Bruce Sutter (HER) finished the game with a perfect 2 2/3 innings for the win. Malone (7-10) was charged with three runs on seven hits. Malone has lost six consecutive starts and his ERA has gone up a full run in that time to 4.48. Turkey Island left 10 men on base and the Amish stranded nine. Delaware Valley at Lake Erie
Minutemen secure win in ninth [/FONT][/center] After eight innings and back and forth scoring the Minutemen added one more run in the ninth to edge the Mudpuppies 9-8. Buck Weaver (1918 CHA) went 5 for 5 for the Minutemen. The winning run in the ninth came after a triple by Steve Yerkes (1915 PIT FL), in his first at-bat of the game, and a single by Charlie Carr (1914 IND FL). Carl Sawatski (1961 SLN) hit two home runs and had four RBI for Lake Erie. Sherry Magee (1910 PHN) and Lynn Jones (1979 DET) also hit home runs. Lew Krausse (1968 OAK) gave up seven runs on nine hits, all four home runs, in five innings. Herb Pennock (HOF) allowed one run in three innings for the win. Joel Johnston (1993 PIT) got his 22nd save. Jack Harper (1901 SLN) allowed seven runs -- three earned -- on 12 hits in four innings. Ron Kline (1968 PIT) took the loss with one inning of relief. Allegheny at Pittsburgh
Tribe sink Bucs in ninth [/FONT][/center] Allegheny plated three runs in the top of the ninth to rally and knock off the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2. A two-out single by Gene Tenace (1979 SDN) off Sam McDowell (1968 CLE) gave Allegheny the lead. Tom Daly (1901 BRO) doubled off Lew Moren (1909 PHN) to make the score 5-2. Curt Leskanic (1995 COL) got his 11th save. The win went to Gary Ross (1969 SDN) who pitched two innings and allowed two hits. Tim Conroy (1983 OAK) did a good job, giving up two runs on eight hits and four walks in six innings. McDowell (11-5) had a shutout until the seventh and then took the loss. He was charged with all five runs on six hits, four walks and nine strikeouts. The Pirates left 12 men on base and the Indians only had seven hits. Laurel at Elk County
Elk County drops Highlanders 3-1 [/FONT][/center] Elk County broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the eight and edged the Highlanders 3-1.

Bob Shawkey (1916 NYY) earned his 10th win of the year, going eight innings and giving up one run on seven hits.

Error in 14th gives Miners 3-2 win [/FONT][/center] An error by Whitey Kurowski (1944 SLN) cost LeHigh Valley a 3-2 decision in 14 innings to Appalachian. This one had some great pitching, some not so great defense through out. The Miners had just two hits the last 4 1/3 innings of the game but managed to win in the bottom of the 14th. Curly Ogden (1925 WAS) beaned John Hummel (1909 BRO) -- the fourth Miner to be hit with a pitch in the game. George Barclay (1902 SLN) singled to put runners on the corners, and Chick Fullis (1934 SLN) hit a grounder to third that was booted by Kurowski to win the game. After Paul Hartzell (1977 CAL) went nine innings and allowed one earned run on eight hits, Harry Dorish (1954 CHA) threw four innings of two-hit relief. Joe Grzenda (1971 WAS) went one inning and got the win. Bob Heffner (1964 BOA) also threw nine innings, giving up two runs on seven hits which lowered his ERA to 6.59. Rich Delucia (1995 SLN) struck out five and gave up one hit in four innings. Ogden took the loss. |

Bill Sherdel (1928 SLN) got a much-needed win and is now 3-7 overall, allowing two runs on five hits with four walks and five strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings. Sherdel has won back to back starts. Gene Garber put this one in the books for his 16th save. Dave Wickersham (1964 DET) threw a nice game as well, allowing three runs -- one earned -- on six hits in six innings but fell to 8-10 on the year. Pittsburgh at Laurel
Pirates blast Highlanders 9-6 [/FONT][/center] Pittsburgh scored all nine runs in the fourth inning and beat its nemesis in the West once again 9-6. Bert Humphries (1914 CUB) just could not get out of the fourth inning as the Bucs scored nine runs on nine hits. Steve Sundra (1943 SLA) came in and he couldn't get out of the frame either. Humphries (8-5) allowed eight runs on six hits in 3 2/3 innings. Sundra went on to work the final 5 1/3 for the Highlanders. Bob Purkey (1961 CIN) got to the ninth but couldn't finish the game. Purkey (6-2) gave up six runs on 12 hits but Johnny Miljus (1927 PIT) wrapped it up for his 20th save. Bobby Wallace (HOF), Hank Sauer (1954 CUB) and Tom Satriano (1968 CAL) each had two RBI for the Pirates. Charlie Hickman (1902 CLE) went 3 for 5 with two home runs for the Highlanders. Lou Klimchock (1969 CLE) was 3 for 4 and Bob Bailor (1977 TOR) hit his fourth home run of the season. Pittsburgh now leads the West by 11 games. Appalachian at Philadelphia

Fort McIntosh at LeHigh Valley
LeHigh "Hacked" 13-2 [/FONT][/center] Hack Wilson (HOF) homered and drove in four runs in a 13-2 laugher for Fort McIntosh over LeHigh Valley. Four runs in the first and six in the fifth put the Militia in the driver's seat. Tom McCreery (1901 BRO) tripled and had three RBI. John Burkett (1993 SFN) pitched a complete game, giving up two runs on 11 hits and striking out nine. Buck Freeman (1901 BOA) was 3 for 5 for the Industrialists.

Allegheny at Turkey Island
Islanders grab 2-1 win in ninth [/FONT][/center] It wasn't overly dramatic, but a sacrifice fly by Pat Kelly (1969 KCA) in the bottom of the ninth gave Turkey Island a 2-1 win over Allegheny. This one saw some good pitching and defense as both teams got out of jams to keep the game tied. The Susquehannocks knotted things 1-1 in the sixth after an intentional walk to Rip Collins (1934 SLN) loaded the bases and Rick Krivda (1995 BAL) then walked Mike Mowrey (1910 SLN) to force in the tying run. Steve Kline (1998 MON) got two outs in the top of the ninth and then received his first win. Elmer Knetzer (1914 PIT FL) went 8 1/3 innings for the Susquehannocks, allowing one unearned run on five hits. Brian Holton (1988 LAD) took the loss after 3 1/3 innings of relief. |

Scot Thompson (1979 CUB) had three RBI for the Mudpuppies. Dave Wickersham (1964 DET) allowed eight runs -- five earned -- on nine hits in 3 2/3 innings and is now 8-11 for the year with a 3.50 ERA. Lake Erie is on a seven-game losing streak. Fort McIntosh at Philadelphia
Militia barely survive 10-9 [/FONT][/center] Philadelphia scored eight runs in the bottom of the ninth but still came up short against Fort McIntosh 10-9. It was a ridiculous last of the ninth as the Militia sent four relievers to the mound to try and end the game. Jack Rowan (1910 CIN) collected his 10th win, going 8 1/3 innings and charged with four runs on eight hits. Mark Gubicza (1988 KCA) dropped to 9-8 after allowing eight runs on six hits with four walks in 2 2/3 innings. Del Ennis (1949 PHN) hit a three-run homer off Willie Adams (1918 PHA) to make the score 10-9 before Adams finally got the last out. |

  Exposition Park: 1891-1909
Home to the Allegheny County IndiansThis old ball park was on the city's north side, very near the current site of Three Rivers Stadium. The Home Plate location was in the Three Rivers Stadium parking lot mid-way between Gate B and C and the Clark Bar & Grill. It was on the river side of the General Robinson Street extension, and on the stadium side of the Fort Duquesne Bridge. Local SABR members surveyed the site and, at one time, marked the approximate home plate location with white paint (in the shape of a home plate). In fact, all the base locations are marked with white paint. Home plate was in a parking space, and many times, was covered with a parked car. The other bases were easily seen even when the lot was in use. In September 1998, a state-sponsored historical marker commemorating the first modern World Series was dedicated on the old ballpark site. The plaque was put into storage when Three Rivers Stadium was imploded in 2001. Stay tuned here for future developments. The site was actually the home to three versions of Exposition Park: the lower field (1882), the upper field (1883), and Exposition Park III (1890). In 1875, the first Allegheny Exposition was held in a hall on the flats along the north shore of the Allegheny River. The Exposition's goals were to promote Pittsburgh, display local products, and to provide some entertainment. In addition to the hall, there was some open space where horse races, circuses, and concerts were held. The American Association Alleghenies played baseball games here, in these open fields, starting in 1882. The Upper Field was hastily created when the lower field (closer to the river) flooded in 1883. Tired of the ballfields on the flood plain, the Alleghenies moved to higher ground at Recreation Park in 1884 (see above). The exhibit halls on this Exposition Park site burned down in 1883 and were later rebuilt across the river on the Point. With the North Side site now largely unoccupied, the new Players League built Exposition Park III very near the current site of Three Rivers Stadium in 1890. The Player's League folded after just one season, and the National League Pirates moved into Expo III in 1891. Most notable events: Exposition Park was the National League host for the first World Series in 1903. The Allegheny River flooded on the 4th of July 1902; more than a foot of water covered large parts of the outfield. It was the perfect time for a double header as the Bucs took on Brooklyn. A special ground rule was created: all outfield hits into the water were singles. The Buccos swept the double header. Capacity: 16,000 Dimensions: Left Field: 400 feet Center Field: 450 feet Right Field: 400 feet Exposition Park was noted for its twin spires behind homeplate on the roof of the grandstand. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad came to own the site. It was used briefly by the Federal League in 1914-1915, but thereafter, it was abandoned and gradually disappeared. By the mid-'20s, the railyard had grown to cover pretty much all of what had been the ballpark. A special thanks to Denis Repp (splinter@usaor.net) for his contribution to the sections on Exposition Park and Recreation Park. Denis sent me a follow-up note of interest. At the end of the inaugural 1883 season at Expo II, the American Association Allegheny ball club and the landlord of the exhibition grounds, the Exhibition Society, squabbled over $250 in rent, countered by a $3,000 threatened lawsuit for fence/grounds repairs as well as extra police security to protect two openings the Exhibition Society left in the Grounds (fencing I assume). On opening day, the Exhibition Society (allegedly) took control of the entrance gates from the ball club, and doubled the normal 25 cent admission and turned away those who showed up with just a quarter. The ball club and the landlord also bickered over control of various gates, with the landlord eventually declaring the lease "null and void" and claiming the club "couldn't lease the ground for any amount of money." The squabble was overcome by events when the Exposition Grounds buildings were destroyed by fire in the off season. The Alleghenys were offered a new park near the modern-day Strip District, but club ended up at Recreation Park for the 1884 season. (Source: Pittsburgh Post, 1883) July 10, 2012
Appalachian 15, Allegheny 3
Miners blow out Tribe 15-3 [/FONT][/center] Appalachian busted open a 3-3 ballgame with a five-run fifth and went on to roll the Indians 15-3. A three-run triple by Steve Bilko (1953 SLN) off Brian Holton (1988 LAD) gave Appalachian the lead. Ron Northey (1944 PHN) had four RBI with Danny Litwhiler (1941 PHN) and Bilko each driving in three. Sparky Adams (1926 CUB), Charley Gelbert (1930 SLN) and Adam Comorosky (1930 PIT), the first three hitters in the order, all scored three runs apiece. Harry Dorish (1954 CHA) got the start and pitched a complete game allowing three runs on nine hits. As a starter and reliever this year Dorish is 5-0 with a 2.30 ERA in 23 games, three starts (two complete games). Joe Beggs (1943 CIN) was charged with six runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings to take the loss. |

Turkey Island at Appalachian
Vuckovich vanquishes Miners [/FONT][/center] Pete Vuckovich (1978 SLN) took matters into his own hands, shutting out the Coal Miners in a 5-0 win for Turkey Island. Vuckovich (10-6) allowed just five singles, walked none and struck out five. It was his second complete game and first shutout of the year. Rip Collins (1934 SLN) was 3 for 5 with two doubles and two RBI. Moose McCormick (1909 NYG) also had two RBI. Ed Walsh (HOF) gave up five runs on eight hits in 7 2/3 innings and is now 13-10. Fort McIntosh at Elk County
Mamaux masterful, Fort wins 4-1 [/FONT][/center] Al Mamaux (1915 PIT) continues to dominate the Keystone State League as he led Fort McIntosh to a 4-1 win over Elk County. Mamaux (15-4) said his feelings weren't hurt when the Pirates traded him for Dick Allen. "I'm just going to keep pitching like I've been and try to help this team win." Mamaux went from first place to last place but has helped the Militia climb out of the basement in the West. Since joining the Militia, Mamaux is 5-1 in six starts with five complete games, two shutouts and an ERA of 1.58. Mamaux now leads the Keystone State League with a 1.96 ERA and is second behind Pittsburgh's Bill Doak and his 16 wins. He is also tied for the league lead with eight complete games Catcher Tony Rensa (1930 PHN) hit a three-run homer, going deep for the second day in a row. Mamaux lost his shutout in the bottom of the ninth after back to back doubles by Fielder Jones (1901 CHA) and Art Howe (1978 HOU). Rube Bressler (1914 PHA) fell to 4-5 overall after allowing four runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. Delaware Valley at LeHigh Valley
Minutemen beat LeHigh 3-1 [/FONT][/center] Jamie Moyer (2002 SEA) won the pitcher's dual which gave Delaware Valley a 3-1 win over LeHigh Valley. Moyer (6-7) worked eight innings allowing one run on six hits and striking out six. Joel Johnston (1993 PIT) got his 23rd save. Joe Cascarella (1934 PHA) had another good outing but came up short after allowing two earned runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. After both teams scored a run in the first inning, a sacrifice fly by Mike Piazza (HER) ended up being the difference for the Minutemen. Allegheny at Pittsburgh
Indians outmatch Pirates [/FONT][/center] Jeff Musselman (1988 TOR) won his first game as an Indian as he dominated the Pirates and took Allegheny to an 8-2 win. Musselman (1-2) took a shutout in into the eighth inning. He gave up two runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings. The Tribe had 14 hits in the night with four doubles and three triples. Fred Hartman (1901 CHA) and Jason Conti (2002 TBA) each had three hits. Allegheny scored five runs on nine hits in five innings off Pirate starter Frank Smith (1909 CHA). Lew Moren (1909 PHN) went the last four frames giving up three runs on five hits. Philadelphia at Cumberland Valley
Gubicza blanks Amish [/FONT][/center] Mark Gubicza (1988 KCA) tossed a four-hit shutout and two home runs by Jeff Leonard (1984 SFG) gave the Phillies a 6-0 win over the Amish Men. Gubicza (10-8) walked three and struck out six. This was his third shutout of the season. Gubicza was 0-3 in his last five starts before finally getting his 10th win. Leonard collected four RBI and has eight home runs on the year. Del Ennis (1949 PHN) homered in the ninth and had two RBI. Chris Nabholz (1991 MON) allowed five runs on six hits in five innings. Jim Todd (1975 OAK) threw four innings and gave up one run on two hits. Laurel at Lake Erie
Mudpuppies drown Highlanders 17-3 [/FONT][/center] It was hitter's night as Lake Erie destroyed the Highlanders 17-3. This is the second time the Mudpuppies have scored 17 runs in a game this season, beating Allegheny 17-7 on May 31. Russ Wrightstone (1927 PHN) went 4 for 5 with his first home run of the year, four runs and seven RBI. Scot Thompson (1979 CUB) also belted his first homer and Joe Collins (1952 NYY) hit his sixth. The Mudpuppies blew up for eight runs in the eighth inning to further humiliate the Highlanders. Jack Harper (1901 SLN) pitched a complete game for just his third win of the year. Harper (3-9) allowed three runs on seven hits. Bob Moose (1968 PIT) threw five innings and was charged with seven runs on 10 hits. Steve Sundra (1943 SLA) was left in to finish the game, giving up 10 runs, five earned, on eight hits in three innings. Keystone State' leading hitter Barney McCosky (1941 DET) was 3 for 4 with two doubles and a triple to leave his average at .367. |

I decided that today's games I was just going to post the box score so you could see who was in the lineup and some stats so far. Game 1 was a NO-HITTER!!! Harry Coveleski beaned Harry Lumley in the first and his only walk came in the eighth I believe. He has won six consecutive starts for the Coal Miners. This was his sixth complete game and first shutout. You can see the box score at the bottom of this page at the strat fan forum. www.stratfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89045&page=25&p=1251907#post1251907 |
