A Royal Reception
Kansas City Monarchs Season Opening Series
by "King" Cole
Union League correspondent
Monarchs Base Ball
Game 1 @ Newark
- On a sloppy field, arguably the two best pitchers in the Union
League squared off in the first game of the season. The first two
Monarch batters reached, but then Paige proceeded to strike out the 3,
4, and 5 hitters in order. Paige displaying his incredible
talent, but the baserunners were foreshadowing for the rest of the
game. In the bottom of the first, Homerun Johnson tripled to deep
left center. Reporters noticed Jethroe lost the ball in the sun,
as he does not allow extra-base hits in the gaps. Jackie Robinson
went deep in the 2nd inning to tie it up at 1-1. It was not until
the 6th inning when Pedro Martinez hit an RBI single with 2 outs to
break the tie. In the 7th, Jackie Robinson struck out with
runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, and received a stern talking to from
the manager when he reached the dugout. To lead off the bottom of
the 8th, Pettus pushed Pedro to a full count and then hit a HR to
right. In the top of the 9th, runner on, Rivera comes in to face
Ott. That cutter might make him tougher to face against LHP in
real life, but Ott will have none of it in DMB. He proceeds to
take him deep. Kansas City added another run off of the 'best'
closer. Dave Smith came in to shut the door in the bottom of the
9th, but gave up 3 singles to loade the bases. Up comes Pettus,
who already has already went deep once, but he can't catch lightning in
the bottle twice and Kansas City takes it 5-2.
Game 2 @ Newark
- The scoring starts in the 2nd inning as Newark RF Larry Doby
makes his second error in as many games to let a run score. In
the 3rd inning, Ott hits a 3 run homer to give Kansas City the early
4-0 lead. Three Finger Brown continues to cruise until the bottom
of the 6th, when things get interesting. Larry Jones, Pete Hill,
and Buck Leonard are the main contributors in a 7 run inning that puts
Newark up 7-4. However, the resilient Kansas Monarchs would chip
away at the 3 run lead. They got back one in the 7th and two in
the 8th. In the top of the 9th, Ott and Terry hit back to back
extra base hits to put Kansas City up 8-7 and Dave Smith would go on to
put the game away.
Game 3 @ Detroit
- Kansas City was up 5-0 by the end of the second inning thanks
to 4 RBIs in the first two innings by Bill Terry. With Gibson,
the most intimidating pitcher of all time, on the mound the game should
have been over. But it was not to be. Cochrane went deep in
the bottom of the 2nd. Kansas City stretched the lead to 6-2 in
the top of the 5th, but Detroit would answer right back with a 2-run HR
courtesy of Babe Ruth. KC would add yet another run in the 7th,
courtesy of a Bob Gibson sac fly. The game Detroit Tigers would
come back in the bottom of the 8th. After an infield single from
Ruth and a walk from McCovey, Kirk Gibson steps to the plate. The
computer manager brought in Thornton Lee to play the percentages, which
is what smart managers do to win ballgames. Gibson didn't seem to
care that Lee is left-handed and proceeded to put the 2-0 offering into
the stands. Lee then gave up a walk-off HR to Tim "Rock" Raines
in the bottom of the 9th. Such careless pitching will surely be
remembered when the next MP is submitted.
Game 4 @ Washington
- The scoring began with all-star catcher Cal McVey picking up an
RBI single in the bottom of the 4th. That is all they would get
however, as Bob Stanley went into American League Park and had a
complete game, 1-run outing. Ott and Pelayo Chacon went deep
which was enough to give the 5-1 win. Washington had loaded the
bases in the bottom of the 9th, but neither George Davis nor Red Smith
were able to capitalize. At the end of the first game session,
KCM is 3-1 with a +7 run differential without playing even a single
game at home. Their owner is very pleased with how their season
has started.
