Bulldogs Get 14-5 Win Versus Chicago
Baron's Ballyard was the site for Federal League action featuring the Chicago Explorers and Georgia Bulldogs.

The Georgia Bulldogs beat the Chicago Explorers, 14-5, at Baron's Ballyard. Vaughn Grissom, in particular, was impressive. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The victory gives the Bulldogs a record of 44-41.

Bobby Witt Jr. had a big 2-run double for the Bulldogs in the top of the first inning. With Georgia leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale and swatted a double to center. It was his 23rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bulldogs ahead, 3-0.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Grissom.
