Hoosiers Lose Second to Senator Bill Frier's Team
In Columbus May 26 Indiana’s Hoosiers drop a 3 to 2 contest to Bill Frier's Senators in a well played game. Delahanty started left field for Chadbourne and Higgins replaced Bower behind the plate as Bowerman remains overworked. Lindaman pitched until the seventh, Chadbourne's momentary bid for a tying hit failed, and Nelson pitched well for the Senators as Indiana tallied nine hits but failed to bunch enough for runs. Columbus scored in the first, third and seventh with timely hits and errors, while the Hoosiers added a late eighth inning run and could not muster a rally in the ninth.
