Day 24 recaps
Herons 11, Walleyes 3
Max Manning allowed one earned run in eight innings and Oscar Charleston blew the game open with a ninth-inning grand slam.

Smoky Joe Williams allowed the first three men he faced to score, but he retired the last 17 hitters and ended up with a complete-game six-hitter. He struck out four and walked none. Dave Malarcher drove in two runs, including the go-ahead run in the seventh, and Charles Blackwell and Hurley McNair each scored twice. The Tourists have lost 11 in a row.
