White Sox Losing Streak Hits Five
5/1/42 - L - CWS 2 @ PHA 4
Monty Stratton went eight innings, and the Sox outhit the Athletics 11-8, but they could only push two men across. Bill Knickerbocker and Sam Chapman both hit homeruns for Philadelphia.
5/2/42 - L - CWS 1 @ PHA 3
Bill Lohrman only allowed one earned run as a George Meyer error allowed two runs to score, and once again the White Sox offense wasn't able to muster much of a threat against the young southpaw Lefty Gerheauser.
5/3/42 - L - CWS 0 @ NYY 12
Yanks ace Hank Borowy held the Pale Hose to only two hits, and the Bronx Bombers teed off on White Sox pitchers, including homeruns from Gabby Glenn, Charlie Keller, and Joe DiMaggio.
5/4/42 - L - CWS 0 @ NYY 1
Veteran Pat Caraway went the distance in a gem allowing only five hits and an unearned run, but the anemic White Sox offense couldn't do anything against long-time Yankee great Lefty Gomez, who earned his 294th career victory.
5/5/42 - L - CWS 5 @ NYY 7
The Sox took a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the 6th inning, but three consecutive doubles from Lyn Lary, Joe Glenn, Joe Gordon, and a single from Lou Gehrig, followed by a triple from Joe DiMaggio put the Yanks ahead 6-4. Both teams exchanged runs in the eighth, but the Sox were unable to regain the lead.
