Back to Square One: Philadelphia’s 1-0 Road Win Evens Series
In a remarkable effort, Lefty Grove single-handedly boosted the Philadelphia Athletics’ championship hopes.

The Philadelphia Athletics left-hander threw a complete game shutout on the road to prevent the Sacramento Solons from taking control of the Series, striking out 5 along the way. The Athletics needed all he had, as their own offense struggled to get into gear. The 1-0 Philadelphia win means the clubs are even at 2-2 in the best-of-7 series.

Grove delivered a quality start for Philadelphia. The 6' 3" left-hander allowed no runs on 8 hits over 9 innings of work.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Sacramento manager Kurt Peterson said following the tough loss.

Game 5 is scheduled for tomorrow. The scheduled starters for the game are Bill Walker for Philadelphia and Fay Thomas for Sacramento.
