Griffith Stadium
Sept. 10 First Game
Hal Newhouser -v- Johnny Niggeling
Newhouser and Niggeling locked up in a great pitcher's duel. Neither team could muster any threats through 8 innings as each team waited for the other to blink. Finally, in the top of the ninth, Niggleling blinked. He loaded the bases and Bob Maier drove hoeme two. Eddie Mayo followed with a two run double. That was everything Prince Hal could ask for as he finished off the 'Nats in the bottom of the 9th for his 4th win and 2nd shutout of the season. Tigers 4 Senators 0
Sept 10 Second Game
Stubby Overmire -v- Bobo Newsome
Overmire had started twice this season with very poor results, famously giving up 18 hits in 6 innings against Philadelphia on August 21. Here today, though was a different story. Backed up by plenty of Tiger hitting, including a three rbi game for "Little" Eddie Mayo, Stubby was on his game. He threw 9 innings, scattering 10 hits and walking none. He won his second of the season and earned himself another start. Two senators were thrown out at the plate in the 9th, one by Johnny Outlaw and the other by Roy Cullenbine. Tigers 8 Senators 1
