Wally Post rocketed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Cincinnati Redlegs

defeated the Chicago Cubs by a score of 6 to 5 at Crosley Field.

 

Post enjoyed a great evening at the plate.  Every time he came up in the

latter innings, the crowd was on their feet cheering.  He cleared the fences

for a two-run home run in the 1st inning, banged out a single in the 4th

inning and belted a three-run homer (his 31st of the season) in the 6th

inning.  Chicago threatened in the 9th but Cincinnati was able to put down

the rally.  

 

Johnny Klippstein(7-5) got the win allowing no runs in 4 and 1/3 innings.

Klippstein got help from Joe Nuxhall who earned his 2nd save.  Bill

Tremel(1-1) was given the loss in relief.  

 

'It's almost like the ball was trying to hit my bat,' Post said. 'Whenever I

would swing, the ball found the sweet spot.'
