Indees Finish 1942 Season with 15–3 Win
Eddie Devinger held Iowa City Racines to six hits as the Washington Indees ended the 1942 season by defeating Iowa City 15 to 3 at Blattner field. The Indees scored in every inning until the seventh, four in the first, and continued a relentless attack as Iowa City pitchers were overwhelmed. Pitcher Shannon and fourteen Iowa City batters struck out, and Washington’s season closure reflects war service shortages. Manager Ray Whitehead indicated yesterday's game may be the last until the war ends.
