ST. LOUIS, MO. July 20, 1917 - Fire! St. Louis gunner Nelson Mahoney set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence in a 9-2 win over the Baltimore Terrapins. It was a powerful performance that should keep the fans at Handlan's Park buzzing for days.
He spoke to the writers in the postgame press room and said, "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today... especially on the last one... I was ahead in the count, so I got set for a certain pitch... and got it... all of it."
For the game the St. Louis right fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs.
Mahoney hit a two-run home run off S. Woodward in the 1st, hit a solo-shot in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run in the 5th and grounded out in the 7th.
This season Mahoney has banged out 105 hits in 382 at-bats for a .275 average with 7 home runs. He is getting on base at a .328 pace and his totals also include 56 RBIs and 41 runs scored.
