Brownies sweep Bombers

Game 1:  Sig Jakucki and Bill Zuber hook up for a pitcher's duel for 7 IPs.  Up 1-0 in the 9th, the Browns put up 4 more while the Yanks can only manage an unearned run of Jakucki.  Stephens, Zarilla, and McQuinn have 2 hits each.  Yanks pitchers continue to have control problems walking 8 while offense grounds into 4 more DPs.  Browns 5 Yankees 1

 

Game 2:  Four Browns have 2 hits while Zarilla has 3 as the Browns rout the Yankees.  Waetherly has 3 hits and Bill Keller 3 BBs for the losers.  Browns 8 Yankees 3

 

Game 3:  Yankees take a 3-1 lead into the 5th behind Bonham but a 2-out

error by Joe Gordon opens the door for the Browns to take a lead they never relinquish.  Byrnes, George McQuinn, Christman, and Hayworth have 3 hits each for St Louis.  Stephens HR'd for the Browns while Gordon went deep for New York.  Browns 14 Yankees 4

 

Game 4:  Nels Potter dominates the Yankees in tossing a CG shutout allowing only 2 hits.  Christman's 3-run HR in the first provided all the runs he needed.  Browns 8 Yankees 0

 

The Browns really exploited the Yanks candy arms in the OF.  There had to be a dozen plays at the plate with the Yanks throwing out but one runner.
