Naturals 9 Clippers 7. 11 innings. LEFTY GOMEZ LOSES CONTROL IN ELEVENTH INNING. With both pitching staffs stretched as thin as possible, the Clippers had no choice but to allow a fatigued, Lefty Gomez to go out for the top of the eleventh inning, in a 7-7 tie game. Gomez gave up a one out single, allowed three straight walks, then gave up a second single, before getting the last two outs. The two runs scored by the Naturals in that frame, gave them a two run win over the Clippers. WP-Koji Uehara(4-2). LP-Lefty Gomez(2-4). HR-Joey Votto(6), Mike Trout(9); Lou Gehrig 2(13), Joe DiMaggio(15).

LP-Robin Roberts(7-8). HR-Chipper Jones 2(15).

Peaches 5 Sultans 3. MAGEE IS THIRD MAN TO HOMER TWICE TODAY. Sherry Magee made it a trifecta of men with two homeruns in a game today, as he smacked a pair against the Sultans. It’s the fourth win in a row for the Peaches. Babe Ruth belted his 26th, tying him for the league lead with Mark McGwire of the Mad Dogs. Lefty Williams’ losing streak as a starter goes on. He now has nine straight defeats on the mound. WP-Eddie Plank(3-3). LP-Lefty Williams(0-9). HR-Babe Ruth(26); Sherry Magee 2(14).
