Yesterdays contest at Baltimore was for
blood. BrietenStein was spiked and Bower
mans head was gashed by foul tip.
A tailender's record: Seven errors and
one run. The Browns, seemingly, are not
trying to get out of the rut.
Schriver and Beckley were the only Reds
who found NOTJs yesterday for more than
one hit, and only five others got single.
If Indianapolis will only keep up the pace
that was set in yesterdays game it won't
take long to be perched at the top of the
ladder again.
