Continental League Games April 14th

The Kansas City Cattle Barons won in dramatic fashion over the Cincinnati Beergardners.  After tying the game in the bottom of the 11th with a 2 out home run by Hack Wilson, The Cattle Barons won on a "walk off" steal of home by pinch runner Sam Rice.  Cincinnati suffered yet another disappointing defeat in a game they feel they should have won.  This dramatic ending overshadowed Detroit's first loss of the season at the hands of the Nashville Commodores, who got to Dizzy Dean early.  Al Kaline went 5 for 5, and raked the Model T's pitching staff.  Finally, the River Captains managed to eke out a one run 9th inning win at Chicago.
