Speer Earns 19th Victory as Monroes Edge Greenwood
In a tight game, Speer pitched for Monroe to secure his 19th win. Walter Starkie opened the third with a infield hit and stole second before Lipscomb drove in the run with a double. The Sox sparked a fourth-inning rally with Hill's triple, Englehorn's walk and Bowles’ long fly scoring a run, followed by Medak and Pruitt adding runs. Monroe padded the lead in the sixth with two more on hits, a hit batsman, and a walk. Hill left briefly after being hit. Engel horn and Bowles continued the rally. Medak and Pruitt later fanned, but Schang doubled to score two, and Bowles was cut down at the plate in the same frame. The late threat from Greenwood stalled as Amelung, Lipscomb, and Clark failed to push runs across. Final score details and box score embedded, with Speer earning the win and Skinner taking the loss.
