hits. The biggest moment was provided by Bernie Allen who quieted the crowd
when he doubled bringing home two baserunners. Detroit scored in 5 different
innings, but their shaky pitching kept them from victory.
Kaat(11-10) lasted until the end allowing 6 runs for the win. Paul
Foytack(6-4) was the losing pitcher. He was knocked around, surrendering 7
runs in 5 and 1/3 innings.
