Senators Lose to Indians in Walk Off
The Cleveland Indians had to overcome a big game from Washington first baseman Fred Merkle to leave Somers Park with a victory. And they did, winning 6-5. Merkle was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win puts Cleveland at 56-35 this season.

One important at-bat came with a runner on 2nd in the bottom of the sixth inning. Facing Washington hurler Nap Rucker, Tom A Long hit a run-scoring single. The Indians went on to win.

"It's great when the crowd gets into it," Long said.
