Very cool! An observation: the name "Rube" must have been a really popular name back in the early 1900s! A lot of players with that name.

Laurel wins wild affair over Amish [/FONT][/center] A great back and forth game that saw the lead change hands five times ended with the Highlanders holding on for a 9-8 win over Cumberland Valley. Charlie Hickman (1902 CLE) went 4 for 5 with two home runs for the Highlanders. Birdie Cree (1910 NYY), who was traded from the Highlanders to the Amish, hit his first home run of the year. Also in that deal was Pat Mullin (1941 DET) and he was 2 for 6. Tom Brookens (1980 DET) finished 3 for 5 with two RBI for the Amish. Rich Rollins (1964 MIN) was 3 for 5 for Laurel. Steve Sundra (1943 SLA) got the win, even though he gave up four runs on six hits in two innings of work. Jim Todd (1975 OAK) took the loss. Delaware Valley at Allegheny
Manto is the "Man" [/FONT][/center] For the second at-bat in a row, Jeff Manto (1995 BAL) came off the bench and hit a game-tying home run. Delaware Valley scored three runs in the top of the ninth to beat the Indians 8-6. The Minutemen scored five runs in the fourth and then three in the ninth. The Tribe tallied three runs in the fifth and three in the seventh. Mike Piazza (HER) was beaned by Bob Priddy (1968 CHA) and had to leave the game. Mike Scioscia (1985 LAD) picked up the slack by hitting his second home run of the year. After Manto homered off Gary Ross (1969 SDN), Mickey Vernon (1953 WAS) singled and Roy Thomas (1903 PHN) singled with one out. Scioscia plated the go-ahead run with a base hit and Reggie Jackson (HOF) hit a sacrifice fly. Lew Richie (1906 PHN) got the win and is now 7-1, after allowing two runs on two hits in two innings.

Pirates outlast Fort 7-6 [/FONT][/center] The Pirates got home runs from unlikely perpetrators and were able to fight through the Fort for a 7-6 win. Glenn Beckert (1971 CUB) hit his first home run, a three-run shot, and Moose Solters (1934 BOA) hit his second of the year. The Militia outhit the Bucos 14-11 but left 12 men on base. Frank Smith (1909 CHA) gave up four runs in the first three innings but then that was it. He went seven innings to even his record at 11-11. Johnny Miljus (1927 PIT) gave up two runs in the ninth but got his 25th save. Tito Francona (1959 CLE) homered and went 3 for 5 with two RBI for the Militia. Jim Gardner (1902 CUB) was called up for the start and allowed six runs on seven hits in six innings. Pittsburgh rightfielder Honus Wagner (HOF) was beaned leading the game off and will be out of the lineup for some time. Turkey Island at LeHigh Valley
LeHigh rallies in ninth [/FONT][/center] LeHigh Valley didn't quit and piled up four runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat Turkey Island 8-7. An outfield error on a deep flyball let the tying run home from third. Pat Kelly (1993 NYY) capped a 4 for 5 game with a hit to right to lift the Industrialists to victory. The Susquehannocks had scored four runs in the seventh to take a 7-3 lead. Charlie Wagner (1941 BOA) got the win, allowing one run on three hits in three innings of work. Chuck Kress (1949 CHA) went 3 for 5 with two RBI and Buck Freeman (1901 BOA) was 3 for 4 with two RBI. Davey Dunkle (1903 WAS) received the loss, givingup one run on two hits.

Ennis smashed his 11th and 12th roundtrippers of the season. The Phils exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Amos Strunk (1916 PHA) went 4 for 4 with two RBI and three stolen bases to get back over the .300 mark at .303. Brook Jacoby (1987 CLE) added his 26th home run of the year. All nine Phils had at least one hit and scored one run. Mark Gubicza (1988 KCA) carried a shutout into the ninth inning where it was broken up on a double by Joe Collins (1952 NYY). Gubicza (12-8, 3.70) only allowed four hits and struck out seven. He is 2-0 and has allowed one run in 18 innings against the Mudpuppies. Jack Harper (1901 SLN) gave up seven runs on 10 hits in six innings. He is 0-3 against the Phillies. Harry Weaver (1918 CUB) could not get out of that seventh inning and allowed five runs on five hits. The Fightin' Phils are on a five-game winning streak. Del Ennis sabr.org/bioproj/person/ac687c18Appalachian at Elk County
Outdoorsmen too fast for Miners [/FONT][/center] The Outdoorsmen stole five bases and made better use of their hits to beat Appalachian 7-3. John Ward (HOF) went 3 for 5 with three RBI and his second home run of the season, plus two stolen bases. Herbie Moran (1914 CIN) was 3 for 5 with his third home run of the year. Elk County has by far the fewest home runs in the Keystone State League with 23 and have the third lowest batting averaage at .255. They rank third in team ERA though at 3.36.

Amish hit last HR for 4-3 win [/FONT][/center] Both teams hit two home runs but a ninth inning solo shot by Vic Wertz (1950 DET) gave Cumberland Valley a 4-3 win over Laurel. Jim Spencer (1979 NYY) hit his 19th home run to tie the game 3-3 in the eighth. Wertz launched his 20th to take the lead in the ninth. Stan Musial (HOF) belted a two-run homer, his 26th.

Jim Todd (1975 OAK) got the win in relief of Eddie Plank (HOF). Steve Swetonic (1930 PIT) was the loser, allowing two runs on five hits in three innings. The season-series between these teams is complete with both winning and five and losing five. Delaware Valley at Allegheny
Minutemen able to subdue Indians [/FONT][/center] Delaware Valley came out on top 7-6 in a game against Allegheny where the lead changed hands five times. Jeff Manto (1995 BAL) drove in the winning run in the top of the eighth. Delaware Valley won with Mike Piazza (HER) missing again due to injury and Reggie Jackson (HOF) with the day off. Herb Pennock (HOF) threw two innings for his second save. Jon Matlack (1978 TEX) gutted out a long outing for his 15th win, allowing six runs on 13 hits in seven innings. Three errors cost the Tribe three unearned runs. Joe Beggs (1943 CIN) gassed in Tim Conroy's (1983 OAK) and allowed two more of his oen in 1 1/3 innings to fall to 2-9. The Minutemen are 5-0 against the Indians. Fort McIntosh at Pittsburgh
Purkey disbands Militia [/FONT][/center] Bob Purkey (1961 CIN) was nearly unhittable Friday night as he finished a one-hitter and the Pirates beat the Militia 3-0. Purkey (8-2) beat former Buco Al Mamaux (1915 PIT) in for the latter's first game against his former team. Both teams were really up for this one and the intensity was there from start to finish. Purkey was perfect into the sixth until walking Jack Clark (1987 SLN). Hack Wilson (HOF) broke up the no-hit bid with a two-out single to right in the seventh. Purkey (8-2, 2.77) finished with seven strikeouts. Purkey has won four consecutive decisions and eight of his last nine. He is 5-1 since moving into the rotation full time after the trade of Mamaux. This was the eighth one-hitter thrown in the Keystone State League. The Pirates scored a run in the third after a walk, passed ball and base hit. They loaded the bases with no out in the seventh and knocked Mamaux (16-5, 1.94) off the mound, then scored two more runs. Mamaux had won four straight games and is 6-2, 1.60 since joining the Militia. Turkey Island at LeHigh Valley
LeHigh takes 4-2 win [/FONT][/center] Buck Freeman (1901 BOA) drilled a two-run homer in the seventh to put the Industrialists ahead and down the Susquehannocks 4-3. Freeman went 3 for 4, added a triple, and had three RBI. Joe Cascarella (1934 PHA) threw eight innings, allowing two runs on nine hits. He was moved into the rotation a month ago and two of his three wins are against the Susquehannocks, as he snapped a three-game skid. Rich DeLucia (1995 SLN) allowed an unearned run on no hits and a walk in the ninth, but got his 20th save. Elmer Knetzer (1914 PIT FL) fell to 3-10 for the year, allowing four runs on nine hits in 7 1/3 innings. Lake Erie at Philadelphia
Higgy homers lead Phils to win [/FONT][/center] Bobby Higginson (1996 DET) turned in a 4 for 4 effort with two home runs and four RBI as the Phillies came from behind to beat the Mudpuppies 7-6. Clint Brown (1941 CLE) gave up a run in the seventh and two in the eighth to blow the save and take the loss. Jack Meyer (1959 PHN) got the win and Mike Koplove (2002 ARI) his 14th save. George Alusik (1964 KCA) hit a three-run shot, his first of the year, for Lake Erie. Brook Jacoby (1987 CLE) cranked his 27th of the season. Philadelphia has won six in a row. |

Rowan rules Miners [/FONT][/center] Jack Rowan (1910 CIN) worked a tidy six-hit shutout and Hack Wilson (HOF) homered in a 5-0 win for Fort McIntosh over Appalachian. Rowan (12-7, 4.33) walked three and struck out three. He is 8-2 in his last 10 starts. This was his first shutout and fifth complete game of the year. Wilson connected for a first-inning two-run homer, his 15th, off Ed Walsh (HOF). Tito Francona (1959 CLE) also had two RBI for the Militia. Walsh (13-11, 3.86) threw a complete game in taking the loss and struck out a season-high 13. Walsh gave up eight hits and four walks. The Militia are happy to see their team ERA finally below five at 4.95, tied for last in the league with LeHigh Valley. Pittsburgh at Elk CountyBucs win 3-2 in 12 [/FONT][/center] It was anti-climatic to what had been a great game but the Pirates' winning run scored on a wild pitch in a 3-2 decision over Elk County. John Ward (HOF) had entered the game as a pinch-runner then singled to drive in two runs and put Elk County on top 2-1 in the bottom of the eighth, spoiling a great outing by Bill Doak (1914 SLN). Doug Brocail (1998 DET) then blew the save in the ninth after a two-out, pinch-hit RBI double by Moose Solters (1934 BOA). Pittsburgh loaded the bases in the top of the 12th after two errors and a walk. Brocail's wild pitch sent the go-ahead run home and Johnny Miljus (1927 PIT) closed it out for his 26th save. Jim Shaw (1918 WAS) went 3 2/3 innings for the win. Doak was joined by Rube Waddell (HOF) as the starters who each thought they had a win but went home with nothing. It was a scoreless game until the seventh. Eddie Sauer (1949 BON), playing for the injured Honus Wagner (HOF), singled to left to bring home Glenn Beckert (1971 CUB) for a 1-0 lead. The Pirates are 7-1 against the Outdoorsmen. LeHigh Valley at Philadelphia
Phillies roll over LeHigh [/FONT][/center] Philadelphia continues to pound the baseball and pummeled LeHigh Valley 14-2. Roy Campanella (HOF) got it going with a three-run homer, his 18th, in the bottom of the first. The Phillies had 18 hits with Amos Strunk (1916 PHA) going 3 for 4 with a double, triple and four RBI. Eddie Stanky (1949 BON) was 4 for 6 with three RBI while Bill Hinchman (1915 PIT) and Jimmy Dykes (1925 PHA) each had three hits. Bucky Walters (1944 CIN) didn't give up a hit until the sixth inning. He went the distance for his 10th win of the year, allowing two runs on four hits. Walters is 3-0 in four starts against the Industrialists. Curt Simmons (1952 PHN) was also gunning for his 10th win, but was bombed for seven runs on 10 hits in three innings. Charlie Wagner (1941 BOA) allowed seven runs on eight hits with six walks in five innings of relief. The Phillies are on a seven-game winning streak, one shy of their season high. For the second time this season Philadelphia has put some distance between them and last place as they are 15 games out of first in fourth place, 6 1/2 games ahead of LeHigh Valley. Turkey Island at Delaware Valley
Minutemen score big late for 7-3 win [/FONT][/center] Delaware Valley struck the Susquehannocks with the bottom of the order and knocked out a 7-3 win. The Minutemen scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth to pull out the victory. The bottom three hitters in the lineup had six RBI and went 6 for 10. Billy Gilbert (1901 MIL) led the way going 3 for 3 with a double and four RBI to move his season average to .227. The #6-9 hitters had eight of the team's 12 hits.

Lew Richie (1906 PHN) got the win with three perfect innings of relief and is now 8-1 for the season. Pat Malone (1928 CUB) took the loss to fall to 7-12 on the year. Malone is 0-8 in his last nine starts. His ERA has gone up a full run in that time from 3.48 to 4.48. Allegheny at Laurel
Musial hammers Indians [/FONT][/center] Stan "The Man" Musial (HOF) hit the Indians with a 3 for 5 effort with a home run, three runs scored and five RBI to lead the Highlanders to a 10-3 victory. Musial passed teammate Ken Griffey Jr. (HER) for the league lead in RBI, now with 92. Charlie Hickman (1902 CLE) hit a three-run homer, his 14th, in the eighth inning. Bill Phillips (1902 CIN) went 7 1/3 innings for the win, not allowing any runs and six hits. Phillips (9-6, 3.87) is 4-0 in five starts against the Tribe. Jeff Musselman (1988 TOR) gave up six runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings for the loss. Cumberland Valley at Lake Erie
Amish clean up Mudpuppies 8-2 [/FONT][/center] Vic Wertz (1950 DET) went 3 for 4 with two doubles and three RBI as the Amish Men eliminated the Mudpuppies 8-2.

John Burkett (1993 SFN) threw 6 1/3 innings to even his record at 9-9. He allowed one run on six hits. Matt Karchner (1995 CHA) picked up his 10th save. Danny Litwhiler (1941 PHN) went 3 for 4 with two runs and two doubles for the Miners. Harry Coveleski (1916 DET) was the loser, allowing two earned runs on eighth its in seven innings. It was a scoreless game until the Militia scored three runs in the top of the seventh. Pittsburgh at Elk County
Shawkey anchors Pirates [/FONT][/center] Bob Shawkey (1916 NYY) held the Bucs in check and the Outdoorsmen came away with a 5-3 win. Shawkey (12-8, 2.67) allowed three runs on nine hits with seven strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings. Doug Brocail (1998 DET) was able to close this one out for his 18th save. Ossee Shcreckengost (1902 PHA) had two RBI for the Outdoorsmen. The Pirates scored two in the top of the eighth but went down in order in the ninth. Sam McDowell (1968 CLE) falls to 12-8 after giving up five runs on nine hits with four walks and six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. LeHigh Valley at Philadelphia
Phils win again, 6-4 [/FONT][/center] Philadelphia's Joe Shaute (1928 CLE) started for the first time this year and looked good as the Phils extended their winning streak to eight games with a 6-4 decision over LeHigh Valley. Shaute (3-2, 5.06), acquired in a trade with Turkey Island, was given the start and he looked good. Shaute gave up two runs in the first and that was it, allowing eight hits in 7 2/3 innings. In seven games with the Phillies Shaute has a 2.45 ERA after 18 1/3 innings of work. Mike Koplove (2002 ARI) allowed a pinch-hit two-run double in the ninth to Carl Furillo (1953 BRO) but got his 15th save. Amos Strunk (1916 PHA) was 2 for 4 with two RBI for the Phillies. Bill Hinchman (1915 PIT) continues to tear it up and sports a .420 batting average in the month of July. He is on a nine-game hitting streak with four, three-hit games in that span and was 2 for 4 in this one against LeHigh Valley. For the season Hinchman is batting .333 with 15 doubles, five triples, five home runs and 26 RBI but has played in only 57 games and lacks the at-bats to qualify for the batting title so far. Bob Heffner (1964 BOA) fell to 6-6 on the year after allowing six runs on seven hits in six innings. Buck Freeman (1901 BOA) was 3 for 5 with a double, home run and two RBI for the Industrialists. Turkey Island at Delaware Valley
All smiles for Delaware Valley [/FONT][/center] John Smiley (1991 PIT) made just his second start of the year and redeemed himself with a solid outing, and a three-run homer by Mickey Vernon (1953 WAS) helped the Minutemen to a 6-3 win over Turkey Island. Smiley (1-1, 7.59) gave another day's rest to Ray Caldwell (1914 NYY) and is still among names rumored to be traded. Smiley gave up a leadoff home run to Pat Kelly (1969 KCA) but allowed just two earned runs on five hits with six strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings. Smiley last pitched on June 14 and gave up seven runs on 12 hits in three innings to the Phillies. Joel Johnston (1993 PIT) recorded his 28th save. Christy Mathewson (HOF) took the loss but fell victim to three errors behind him. Matty (12-9, 2.11) was charged with six runs -- three earned -- on seven hits in six innings. The Minutemen have won five in a row and now lead the East by nine games over Appalachian and 9 1/2 in front of Cumberland Valley. Allegheny at Laurel
Indians can't hunt down Moose [/FONT][/center] Bob Moose (1968 PIT) threw a complete game and the Highlanders stood tall over the Indians 5-1. Moose (6-9, 4.06) allowed one unearned run on eight hits and struck out four in his second complete game of the year. Ken Macha (1980 MON) will get a little playing time behind the plate with the injury to Joe Sugden (1903 SLA). Macha went 2 for 4 with a triple and two RBI. Rick Krivda (1995 BAL) allowed five runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings for the loss and is now 2-7 for the season. Cal Abrams (1954 BAL) was 3 for 4 for the Tribe. The Tribe have dropped five in a row. Cumberland Valley at Lake Erie
Erie hammers out 8-6 win [/FONT][/center] Russ Wrightstone (1927 PHN) and Joe Collins (1952 NYY) each drove in three runs to help the Mudpuppies come out on top 8-6 over Cumberland Valley. Wrightstone enjoyed a good game against his former team as he went 2 for 4 with a double. Collins smashed his eighth home run of the season off lefty reliever Bill Sherdel (1928 SLN) to give the Mudpuppies a 7-3 lead in the sixth inning. Sherry Magee (1910 PHN) went 3 for 5 for Lake Erie. Gary Peters (1964 CHA) got the win, allowing five runs on nine hits in 6 2/3 innings. Ron Kline (1968 PIT) went 1 2/3 innings for his 17th save.

Philadelphia 5, Laurel 3
In the first meeting of the season between these cross-division teams, Eric Milton pitched eight solid innings in a 5-3 win over the Laurel Highlanders. Ralph Young went 2 for 4 with two RBI for the Phils. Mel Queen went six innings in the loss for the Highlanders.
Cumberland Valley 3, Elk County 1
A three-run third was enough for the Amish Men to collect a 3-1 win over Elk County. Bill Sherdel (6-7, 3.78) allowed only one run on seven hits in 7 1/3 innings while winning his fifth straight decision, with Bruce Sutter finishing for his eighth save. Mike Mussina (7-11, 3.27) took the loss, going six innings and allowing three runs on seven hits. The Moose has lost five consecutive games.
Pittsburgh 1, Turkey Island 0
A great pitcher's dual just outside of Harrisburg where the Bucs scored one unearned run in the top of the first and Bob Purkey threw a four-hit shutout after that. Purkey (10-2, 2.79) has sure made it easy to forget about trading away Al Mamaux as he walked one and struck out five in his second shutout of the year. Purkey has won six straight decisions and hasn't lost since June 27. Christy Mathewson (12-10, 2.01) also allowed just four hits with no walks and eight strikeouts.
Delaware Valley 9, Lake Erie 4
The Mudpuppies were enjoying a 4-1 lead until the Minutemen loaded the bases with two out in the sixth and Reggie Jackson hit a grand slam home run. Delaware Valley went on for a 9-4 victory. Bob Mitchell went 2 for 5 with three RBI and Danny Murtaugh was 3 for 5 with two RBI. Bobby Shantz (13-8, 3.57) went seven innings for the win.
Allegheny 2, LeHigh Valley 1
Bill McKechnie came through with a pair of RBI singles as Allegheny edged LeHigh Valley 2-1. Bob Priddy (7-7, 3.88) got the win with three innings of one-hit relief and Curt Leskanic got his 17th save. Joe Cascarella (3-5, 3.41) got the loss, giving up one earned run on six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
