April 11, 1901,

Well, we finished up a 3-game series in Philly this afternoon on a down note. Here are brief recaps of the series.

04/09/01
Win 7-5. All seven runs were scored in the first 4 innings, and we held on for the 7-5 win. I used Kittredge to lead off, and he took to it, going 3-4 with 2 runs and a steal. Kellam batted behind him and was 3-for-5 with a homer and 4 RBI. I gave Mateo the day off. (There are drawbacks to the biggest bat belonging to a catcher...) Qualls had the start and threw 5 innings. He was rolling along, scattering some harmless hits, but blew up in the 5th, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits. For the game, he gave up 10 hits and walked 3 while striking out none. Not a good outing, but he got the win on the strength of our bats. Qualls helped himself at the plate, going 2-for-2, and crossing the plate twice. He stole a base, too. Fun, but I could have killed him for taking off like that. [editor's note: I accidentally clicked the "steal 2nd" button... d'oh!]

04/10/01
Win 6-2. Mateo continued to roll, going 4-for-5 with an RBI. Crampton was 0-for-3, but had 2 RBI on sac flies, and did not strike out once. I was very pleased with this performance. Chenowith got to pitch in good weather this week, and was obviously well-rested after his short start last week. He pitched 7 strong innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, 7K and 1BB, in 7 innings. Great work from him.

04/11/01
We could not get going. The game started off looking good. Byers led off today, and went 3-for-3 with a walk. He also scored our only run in the first inning. After that, we were completely shut down, scattering 5 hits over the remaining 8. The big difference today, despite our hits, was our complete inability to manufacture a run. The first 8 games, I've watch this team go around and around the basepaths, but there was just no groove today.

Tonight, we have to board the train back to Boston, and we have a start against New York tomorrow afternoon. I see they finally won one against Baltimore yesterday. Kept us tied for 1st place.
