W 5-4 |
1-0 |
Winning
pitcher-Wilfrid "Lefty" Lefebvre.
Babe Barna singles home Fred Reinhart with the winning run in the 9th
inning. Zeke Bonura, who was the first
Millers player drafted and served in North Africa, is back as
player-manager. Don Schoenborn, Werner
Strunk, Frank Trechock, and Russ Rolandson are also back from the service. |
|

Losing pitcher-Bob
Barthelson. Joe Bockman breaks a 6-6

into Trechock (knocking out both Reinhart and Trechock) on Bockman's pop up
in short left field. |

LP-Schoenborn. Paid attendance for the doubleheader was
15,761 with an estimated crowd of more than 16,000, including pass
holders. Fans lined the field, some
within 10 feet of the lines. All balls
hit into the crowd were ruled doubles (24 doubles in the two games, 17 by St.
Paul). Mike Kelley, who had just sold
the Millers to the New York Giants but was still team president, moved up a
game versus the Saints from later in the season to create a doubleheader and
did not turn away any fans, although the police eventually did. (Bonura was criticized by George A.
Barton in the Minneapolis Tribune and Charles Johnson in the Minneapolis
Star-Journal for not having relievers warmed up,
causing him to leave Lefebvre in too long in the first game and Schoenborn in
the second game.) |
