Late Offense Lifts Cincinnati to 6-3 Victory
The Cincinnati Packers defeated the Philadelphia Quakers, 6-3, in National Baseball League action at Quakers Stadium. Cincinnati pitcher Erv Koenig had a standout performance. The winning pitcher was Koenig, now 5-3. He tossed 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 5 and fanning 4. Their 61-78 record puts the Packers 6th in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

Had Glenn Palmer not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Palmer hit a 2-run single. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Packers.

"I give credit to my teammates for this win. We got it done," Palmer told the Cincinnati Citizen.
