Lefty Grove Benched As Earnshaw Wins For Athletics
Fans wonder why Lefty Grove hasn’t pitched in ten days with no official reason given. Mack aims to stabilize the staff as George Earnshaw earns his first win of the season with a four hit outing. McSwain homers, a drive that would have cleared Thomasville’s left field wall, yet bounced back onto the diamond. Albany ground rules treat any ball over the fence as a home run, but the bounce back did not affect McSwain’s four base knock.
