Americans Are Showing Wins and No Debits
Bridgeport extended its winning streak to thirteen as the Americans beat Providence. Richell, the sole Bridgeport batter without a hit, immune to self-criticism, faced criticism for backstopping. Martin, center fielder, Brackett, and Baker contributed, while Baker committed five errors for Providence. Woyls relieved, allowing three hits over seven innings. Bridgeport and Providence renew the clash at Providence this afternoon, with Worcester to visit tomorrow in a doubleheader slated for Saturday. Umpire tensions surfaced as Waterbury manager Hinchman cursed Duly, with a notable remark about Kelly’s intimidating demeanor.
