Continental League Games April 22nd

The Chicago White Bears won a dramatic contest against the visiting River Captains, 1-0. All day, Phil Cockrell and Mickey Welch, taking advantage of a cold, wet April day in Chicago held the other team scoreless until two outs in the 9th. White Bears' center fielder Joe DiMaggio worked a walk. Geroge Brett then rapped a gapper to left field and the speedy DiMaggio, running with the pitch, scored from first to end the contest. Detroit held on to win 2-1, but lost Bob Lemon to the 15 day disabled list, where he joins starting 3rd baseman Mike Schmidt.  Finally, Cincinnati got off to a fast start at home and held on to beat KC, 6-3.

Hack Wilson went yard and had 3 RBI as the Kansas City Cattle Barons topped
the Detroit Model Ts by a score of 8 to 6 at Navin Field.
 
Kansas City came up with the deciding runs in the 8th inning scoring 5 runners
on 4 hits.  The key offensive moment was provided by Wilson who silenced the
crowd when he rifled a three-run blast.  Rollie Fingers earned the save with
a perfect ninth, his 4th save.  
 
The victory was credited to Robin Roberts(2-2) who went 7 innings, allowing 5
runs. Dizzy Dean(1-4) ended up with the loss.  He served up 3 gopher balls in
8 innings.  
 
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Kansas City's manager said after the game.  'Roberts did not
have command of his pitches most of the night, but he proved he really knew
how to pitch!'
