Both teams had their chances, but the Savannah Goobers eventually prevailed.

Savannah Goobers starter Don Richardson pitched a strong game against the Memphis Bears at Bears Ballpark, leading the Goobers to victory, 4-3. Richardson, now 5-8, was the winner. In 8.1 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing 3 runs. Clyde Pope closed it out for his 6th save.

Andy McAvoy, who finished 4th in the GSL in RBI with 63 in 1912, had a direct impact on the outcome. McAvoy contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Savannah up, 4-0.

Savannah manager Willie Gatewood called it "a pretty good win."

By defeating Memphis, the first-place Goobers improved to 30-27.
