In a rare low-scoring series, the Orators starters held Raymond to two runs in 24 innings.
The first game was a dandy duel between Don Sutton and Gaylord Perry, each of whom tossed nine scoreless innings. Sutton allowed four hits and walked one; he had to work out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning. Perry wasn't quite as efficient, allowing seven hits in his first nine innings. Perry opened the 10th, and three of the first four batters singled to force him from the mound. The Orators scored two more in the inning. The Rams got one back in the bottom of the inning off Dave Danforth, but it wasn't enough.
Ferguson Jenkins outworked Red Ruffing in the second game. The Orators strung together three singles and a double in the fourth for two runs and were never caught. Jenkins went eight innings allowing one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven. Richie Ashburn had three hits for Ortonville, including a pair of RBI doubles, and scored a run.
Ortonville completed the seep behind Ernie Wingard, who went seven innings for his first win. Jim O'Rourke had three hits for the winners, including a pair of doubles, and scored twice. The Rams left 10 men on base in Wingard's seven innings and 12 for the game.
Neither team had a home run or triple in the series.
Pitcher availability: Bill Bayne went 1.6 innings for the Orators in the finale and Lil Stoner went two for the Rams; ideally neither will pitch in their team's next game, but if they do, one game off for each inning. Elam Vangilder faced just one man in the finale, and that will not be held against him.
Projected rotations: Rams -- Collins-Perry-Ruffing-Holloway-Whitehill. Orators: Shocker-Sutton-Jenkins-Davis-Wingard.

Series 9: Flashes take two of three from Black Caps
Black Caps 13-12, Flashes 15-12
Game One: Flashes 3, Black Caps 2

LP: V Barnes (3-2)
HR: Pennington (5)
Fordham got a pair of walk-off homers in the first two games of the series off Phil Cockrell to move ahead of Lincoln Park for second place.
Verdell Mathis and Burleigh Grimes dueled in the opener, with Mathis carrying a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the eighth inning. Frank Snyder and Dave Bancroft opened the frame with base hits. Pinch hitter Irish Meusel hit an apparent double-play ball, but Black Caps second baseman Bonnie Serrell booted the play, loading the bases with no outs. Ross Youngs promptly singled home Snyder and Bancroft. Webster McDonald got out of the inning with no further damage, but in the bottom of the ninth, Chick Hafey homered with one out off Cockrell for the winner. Serrell not only committed the costly error, he struck out in all five of his at-bats.
Game Two was a higher-scoring affair. Both teams scored three runs in the first inning, with Jim Bottomley and Art Pennington each hitting home runs. Cockrell threw four scoreless innings of relief, but didn't get past the first batter of the 12th inning. This time it was Joe Medwick who clubbed the game-winning four-bagger. Medwick scored four runs and drove in three. Jerry Benjamin scored three times for the Black Caps.
Rube Currie had his best outing of the season for the Black Caps in the finale, spinning a five-hit complete game and lowering his ERA from 8.40 to 5.63. Pennington hit a two-run homer in the seventh.
Pitcher availability: Claude Jonnard should miss the next two games for the Flashes.Wayland Dean pitched one inning in the finale. Currie should sit three games, Cockrell and Andy Cooper two, Mathis one for the Black Caps.
Projected rotations: Flashes -- Nehf-Grimes-Haines-McQuillan-Barnes. Black Caps -- Williams-Holland- ??? (Streeter-Cockrell-Smith-Drake)
