May 28, 1956 vs Detroit (Steve Gromek)
Not much drama here as the Indians knocked around Gromek and three Detroit relievers. Score had a rather atypical game for him with just 4 Ks and 1 BB.

May 23, 1956 vs. Boston (Frank Sullivan)
Smith (CLE)
Gopher balls once again proved problematic for Score. The game started well enough for the Tribe on Al Smith's first inning two run homer, but that's all the Indians would get off of Frank Sullivan.
The Red Sox answered with a run in the second before launching a couple of deep shots off Score. Jimmy Piersall gave the Sox a 3-2 lead with a two run blast in the sixth. Dick Genert's solo shot in the eighth gave the Sox an additional run. Sullivan pitched well (4 hits, 3 walks, and one hits batsmen in 7.1 innings), though the Indians certainly had some chances leaving nine on base.

Home Runs - Oravetz (WAS), Carlos Paula (WAS), Jim Busby (CLE), Score (CLE)
The Indians score five runs early and send Pascual to the showers after only 3.1 innings. Score was sailing along until the seventh when the Senators blasted two home runs off him. Score's fourth inning homer off Pascual seemed like icing on the cake at the time, but after the Senators put up that four spot, it turned out to be the difference in the game.

Young Mr. Malone
I'm not sure how many games I'll end up playing, but I intend to occasionally work in a game or two from the 1974-75 ABA set by featuring a 19 year old Moses Malone. He played for the fairly mediocre Utah Stars. Since I grew up a Rockets fan and Mo was one of my favorite players, I thought it would be fun to play a few games from his rookie season. First up, the San Antonio Spurs with George Gervin.
What a crazy game! I keep saying that, but check it out.
Stars 36 38 27 35 - 136
Spurs 36 34 24 26 - 120
Highlights -
* Both teams shot like crazy in the first half. Utah was 31 of 44 (70%) while San Antonio was 28 of 49 (57%). The half time score was 74-70.
* Utah's dynamic duo of Malone and Ron Boone were a combined 30 of 40 from the floor!
* Malone led all scores with 34 points and also grabbed a game high 12 rebounds.
* Boone scores 31 for the Stars.
* While George "The Iceman" Gervin scored 26 for the Spurs, Rich Jones led the team with 29.
* Swen Nater led San Antonio with 11 rebounds.
* Final shooting percentages - Utah 67% (56/84)
San Antonio 52% (49/95)

1993-94 Rockets - Game 4
November 13, 1993
Rockets vs Suns
Rockets lose 113-97.
Olajuwon scored 23 on 11 of 17 shooting. Otis Thorpe chipped in 15 and Robert Horry scored 14.
The main problem for the Rockets was that Phoenix just shot lights out - especially AC Green. Green led Phoenix with 20 points on 8 of 10 shooting!
The Phoenix attack featured great balance. In addition to Green's 20, Dan Majerle scored 19 and Kevin Johnson added 18 while Charles Barkley and Cedric Ceballos scored 16 each. Sir Charles also grabbed 18 rebounds.
The Rockets are now 2-3. Surely it will get better. Can't get much worse.

1993-94 Rockets - Game 5
November 15, 1993
Rockets at Philadelphia
This was a crazy game. Just 18 timing units into the game (about 4 minutes of actual time), a bench fight erupted that resulted in the Rockets losing Hakeem Olajuwon, Otis Thorpe, and Scotty Brooks to ejection. The 76ers lost Shawn Bradley, Tim Perry, and Greg Graham.
The Rockets weathered the loss initially and took a 50-39 lead into the half. But when the game resumed they could not find the bucket to save their lives and lose 93-87. Vernon "Mad Max" Maxwell lived up to his name and lead the Rockets with 29 points, but it came on 8 of 24 shooting. Mario Elie added 19, but Kenny Smith (9) and Robert Horry (8) failed to crack double digits on a night when the Rockets needed every player to step up their game.
The 76ers were led by Dana Barros with 20 and Clarence Weatherspoon with 19.
Rockets are now 2-2 pending my completion of the Phoenix game.

1935 Top Mound Showdown - Schumacher vs Lee
Hal Schumacher (10-67) vs Bill Lee (10-66)
Not much drama here as the Giants scored all the runs they would need in the first inning on Travis Jackson's bases loaded triple. They added a couple of unearned runs in the seventh.
Schumacher was a bit wild, walking five, but he only gave up three hits to the hard hitting Cubs.
