Jints take 3 of 4 from Reds in Queen City

GAME 1 - Crosley Field

A.Hansen vs Walters

Giants 4, Reds 2

Back to back RBI singles by George Hausmann and Buddy Kerr in the top of the 9th broke a 2-2 tie and propelled the Jints to victory.  Poor Bucky Walters took his 4th consecutive loss for the hometown Reds.  Mel Ott hit is 3rd homer of the season and had 2 of NY's 4 RBI's.

GAME 2

Mungo vs Heusser

Reds 2, Giants 1

Ed Heusser gave up 7 hits in 8 innings, but somehow found a way to limit the damage to just 1 run.  It's a good thing he was so stingy, because his teammates were only able to provide him with 2 runs.  RBI's by W.Willians and Clay in the bottom of the 5th were all Heusser needed.  Beggs came on and pitched a tenuous, but scoreless 9th to save the game.

GAME 3

Brewer vs Shoun

Giants 7, Reds 1

The visitor's from Gotham broke up a scoreless tie with 4 in the top of the 5th and never looked back.  The top 5 batters in New York's lineup was responsible for 10 hits and 5 RBI's to make Jack Brewer's day on the bump easy.  Leadoff man Mel Ott was 2 for 5 with 3 runs scored.  Billy Jurges knocked in 3 runs from the 5 hole.

GAME 4

Voiselle vs De la Cruz

Giants 5, Reds 2

New York added to their 1 run lead with 4 monster runs in the top of the 7th.  Pitcher Bill Voiselle went 8 2/3 and gave up just 1 earned run (2 total).  On the way he knocked in 2 runs with sacrifices.  Jurges had another big RBI day as well as he chipped in 2 from the leadoff spot.  The Redlegs were polite hosts dropping 3 of 4 to the vistors from back east.
