Bisons Flatten Phillies, 9-1
The Buffalo Bisons beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-1, at National League Park 1895-1909. Starting pitcher Frank Groves was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The Bisons go to 30-35, putting them third in the Eastern League.

The game could have flipped with one out in the bottom of the seventh. But Frank Groves made what his manager later called "an A-plus pitch." With the bases loaded and Philadelphia trailing 6-0, Groves threw a splitter to Cupid Childs and Childs hit into a double play.
