Game 4 in Washington, October 13th 1912
Jack Pfiester (15-10, 3.34) v Rube Vickers (19-16, 2.69)
Senators lead series 3-0

Pfiester and Vickers get their first starts of the series here. Rube was monumental for us down the stretch and will need to be again here to give us a chance of extending things. Harvey out with the lefty on the hill, hopefully we can get him in later and he can have an impact.

We open the scoring for the first time so far, when Campbell triples and scores on a single by Marsans in the 2nd and we add another the next inning on an error by Jackson. We keep the score ticking over with a third in the next on a Herzog sac fly but they cancel that one out with one of their own in the home half.

That sparks them to life as they find their range and hone in on Vickers, tying the game with 2 on 4 hits in the 5th. But Campbell and Marsans repeat their earlier dose to put us back ahead. We get bases loaded with none out and look to have wasted another chance with two weak forceouts at home, but Lajoie comes through with a double to clear them and make it 7-3, ending Pfiester’s game.

Bresnahan has been a complete liability on both offence and defence in this series, and his throwing error allows them to bounce back immediately with a run and Snodgrass then continues to murder us with an RBI single. Then Herzog throws one into the stands and they close to within one, and Jackson ties it with a single, chasing a very disappointing Vickers.

Their lineup is an unstoppable force for which we have no answer, as they score the go-ahead run off Dauss, and we go down quietly to end it.

Look, I’m really proud of what we did this season and being swept by the best side in the league takes nothing away from that, especially given we could well have won all four ourselves. But we didn’t, and our utter lack of polish is the main reason why, and also shows us just how far we have still to go if we want to consistently compete with the best of them. Well done, Washington – you certainly deserve your club’s first Championship. I doubt it will be your last over the next few years.
