In a close game the Philadelphia Warriors got by the Homestead Grays by the
score of 3 to 1.
Philadelphia scored the decisive runs in a big 8th inning with 2 runs on 3
hits. Bill North kicked off the action when he laced a single. Jerry
Mumphrey followed and he smacked a single. Rick Burleson then laid down a
sacrifice bunt. Keith Hernandez was up next and he reached on an error which
plated a run. Oscar Gamble stepped into the box and delivered a base-hit
scoring the final run of the inning. Philadelphia finished with just 6 hits
in the victory.
The win was credited to Tim Stoddard(1-1) who went 2 innings allowing no runs.

and 2 hits without retiring a batter.
