Kennedy quells late Orphan uprising
Brickyard Kennedy (pictured) was called on in the 9th inning of today's game, to close out the rallying Chicago club. Kennedy required only eight pitches to get the job done. Doc McJames (2-1) got the win, but was heavily fatigued in the 9th inning when Superbas skipper, Ned Hanlon made the call to the bullpen. Brooklyn, with today's win, is two games in front in the National League.
