A BLANKET START IN BOTH LEAGUES WITH NO STRONG MOVES AS YET

5 TEAMS WITHIN 1 ½ GAMES OF THE LEAD IN THE AL

BEANEATERS 2 CLEAR IN THE NL.

Notable Performances

April 14th: the A’s overcome 5 errors and a 4-run Boston 9th to tie the game, walking it off with a run in the home half for a 8-7 win. The Browns also make 5 errors and score 2 in the 11th to take a 5-3 lead away to the White Sox, only for the home team to score 3 in another walkoff win. The two sides play an even wilder game the following day, a 10-inning 14-13 win to the Sox (despite them committing six errors) in which the teams combine for 40 hits.
April 17th: a couple of pitching gems against New York teams with the Beaneaters’ Carl Lundgren two-hitting the Giants and Tommy Hughes of Washington allowing just three hits and an unearned run in a 6-1 win over the Highlanders. Meanwhile, both Detroit LF Marty Keough and White Sox 2B Logan Forsythe rap out 5 hits in games against Cleveland and St. Louis.
April 20th: 3 in the top 13th gets the White Sox past the Tigers, with William VanLandingham going the distance for the win.
April 26th: shortstop Mickey Witek’s 5 hit game can’t stop the Phillies dropping a close one to the Beaneaters.
May 1st: a three-hitter by Boston’s Chappie McFarland gets his side past the Giants 2-0.
May 3rd: Despite giving up 10 hits, Washington’s Tommy Hughesgoes the distance in a 12-inning 1-0 win over the A’s.
May 4th: RF Joel Youngblood has 4 hits including a homer and 5 RBI, but still his Tigers drop the game 12-7 to the Browns.
May 8th: George Stone has 5 hits and scores 5 runs, while Hector Lopez knocks in 6, as the White Sox humble the Naps 15-3.
May 15th: 3B Jack Rothrock has 5 hits and 2 RBI, but it is Turkey Stearns’ single in the 10th that earns the Naps a walkoff 11-10 win over the Sens.
May 22nd: a rare 2-homer game by LF Frank Schulte powers the Highlanders to an 8-6 win over Detroit.
May 23rd: a dandy of a game between the Sens and Sox sees Washington score a run in the top 9th to send it into extras tied at 3, then each team score a run in both the 10th and 11th, then Chicago walk it off 6-5 on a Harry Lumley single. 3B Red Smith and LF George Stone both have 4 hits for the home team, with Smith driving in 3.
May 27th: a big game from SS Ian Desmond, who has 4 hits of which 3 are triples and both scores and knocks in 3 runs, helps the struggling Reds to a much-needed 15-6 win over Pittsburgh. Meanwhile Jeremy Bonderman shuts out Cleveland on 4 hits with 9 strikeouts as the Highlanders nip the Naps 1-0.
May 29th: Highlanders pitcher Rick Langford allows just two hits over 9+ innings as his side sneaks past the A’s 3-2 in 10. Over in the NL, the Pirates take both games of a doubleheader against the Cards 3-2 in extra innings, the first in 12 and the second in 10.
May 30th: Detroit CF Milt Cuyler has 5 hits and 2 RBI to power his side past the White Sox 8-4.
May 31st: a big day for Gates Brown, as the Beaneaters left-fielder goes 4-for-5 with 3 doubles and 6 ribbies in a 14-5 win over the Phillies.
