This is the first of a four game series between the first and last placed teams in the ECL; the 4-5 Daisies, with an anemic offense so far, will have to show some offensive prowess today to avoid a false start into this important series - and they do, in rather convincing fashion.
New York starter Bill Holland still seems to be a bit hungover from the relief outing two days ago - he gives up one run on two walks and a single in the first, and another three runs as the Daisies nearly bat around on a walk, two singles and two doubles. While Holland continues to concede runs, Hensley pitches solid inning after solid inning. Only Mule Suttles can put a small crack into Hensley's display of control as he scores his sixth homer of the season.
At the game's half way point, the Daisies seem to become a bit too comfortable with their eight run lead. In the fifth, the Giants can score two runs helped by two infield errors. However, if the Daisies are loose, they also continue to score and take back the two runs immediately. And they do flash some leather in the bottom of the sixth, as Mackey makes a difficult catch on a bloop popup along the third field line and Torriente makes the final out crashing into the left field fence at full speed [F1 rare play...].
The Hilldale show goes on in the seventh with another run scored by Blackwell after a triple, and Torriente crashing into the left field fence once again to rob Dixon of what looked like a certain homerun, and two batters later reaching into the crowd along the left field line to catch a foul ball from Beckwith. Things continue unchanged to the end, with Hilldale scoring another three runs inthe last inning, and the Giants at least getting another two runs back, and with them some hope that thei second game of the double header might go better for them if their ace Manning can cool down the red hot Hilldale bats.
