NL Pre WWII put a big number on the board in the top of the 9th inning, which proved too much for Negro League II to overcome as they erupted for 7 runs on 4 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Frankie Frisch who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he tripled plating all three baserunners. NL Pre WWII rapped out 12 hits for the night. Dizzy Dean(3-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 2 innings. Pete Alexander recorded his 1st save. Max Manning(4-3) was hit with the loss in relief. Leo Durochure was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last at bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there? You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead. But, hey, that's what makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over 'til its over.' AL PRE WWII AT NL POST WWII Pre-Americans... 0 0 0 1 0 3 0 0 2 - 6 14 0 Post-Nationals.. 0 2 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 - 5 8 0 Win:Mays(2-4) Loss:Perry(2-2) Save:Coveleski(2nd) Homeruns- L.Gehrig(6th), H.Manush(1st), H.Aaron(6th), E.Banks(10th) First baseman Lou Gehrig blasted a homerun at Big League Field as the AL Pre WWII team came back dramatically to top the NL Post WWII club by the score of 6 to 5.

Bill Dickey stepped into the box and doubled scoring the final run of the inning. AL Pre WWII had 14 hits for the night while NL Post WWII had 8. Carl Mays(2-4) allowed 5 runs in 8 innings, and picked up the victory. Mays got help from Stan Coveleski who earned his 2nd save. Gaylord Perry(2-2) took the loss in relief. He gave up 1 hit and no walks without retiring a batter. Tommy Lasorda was understandably not very talkative after his team's tough loss. He quickly showered and changed and when asked about the game had a terse, yet polite response, 'Hey fellows, that game was a heart-breaker to lose. Our guys gave it their all and played well - fate just wasn't smilin' on us tonight' TURN OF CENTURY AT FOFC Centurions...... 0 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 - 5 12 2 All Stars....... 2 3 3 1 0 0 0 2 - 11 17 0 Win:Williams(4-0) Loss:Joss(1-3) Homeruns- D.Fouts(2nd) Right fielder Persimmon Pflaggstettler hit 2 doubles and had 3 RBI at FOFC Stadium where the FOFC All Stars beat the Turn of Century Centurions 11 to 5.
