They almost ran out of baseballs at Shibe Park as Athens Bobkittens clobbered
the Limerick Hurlers pitching staff, scoring 11 runs while Chief Bender(6-8),
with relief help from Three Finger Brown, held Limerick to 1 run.

Bender earned his pay with a solid performance for Bender. He was reached for
8 hits and 2 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings reducing his ERA from 4.90 to 4.69.
Athens finished with 15 hits while Limerick ended up with 8.

The losing pitcher was Don Newcombe(8-14). He was touched for 4 homeruns in
his 2/3 of an inning of work.
