All came down to pitching, not much offense. The Mariners got their two runs from a Waite Hoyt balk (scoring in Boone), while Boone added an RBI double during the bottom of the 3rd to take a 2-1 lead that stuck. Mariners' superior bullpen took over in the 6th. Next series is a big one for the Mariners as the M's 18-6 record will clash with play the Negro League powerhouse Pittsburgh Crawfords, for one of the best anticipated series in the early season -- A battle between the best two records in the Crazy 48's!
