There was no great difference between the two leagues, but I'd have to say it was easier pitching in Yankee Stadium . Down the stretch for New York he pitched 16 innings while surrendering just one run and won his only decision. Rookie Frankie Baumholtz , who played in the NBA the previous winter, collects with four hits. Blackwell then gets Al Gionfriddo before Jackie Robinson bangs out a second single. Stanky's hit ends Blackwell's hitless-inning skein at 19.
All games are complete games and five are shutouts.
