While I try to limit my influence to game lineups and have not controlled an individual game since the start of this thread, I was so tempted to jump into the game and try and get Johnny Lush the win as I really would love to see him reach the 20-win mark in his rookie season. Instead, I stood pat and watched as the game went into extra innings and ultimately the loss. On the day, the Chicago White Sox (57-78) topped the Boston Americans (79-56) by a 3 to 2 score. The Americans enjoy a 8-game lead in the American League playoff race as the season soon comes to a close.

While Chicago starter Bill Carrick did not factor into the decision, he pitcher well as he allowed just 2 unearned runs on 9 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings of play; Game Score 55. Turning to ace Charles Bender (19-17) to keep the opposition in check before Bill Hoffer (SV 2) pitched a scoreless inning to record the save. Johnny Lush (18-15) was saddled with the loss after he permitted 3 runs (2 earned) on 10 hits and 2 walks; Game Score 67.

The White Sox offense was generated by John Dobbs (1 for 3, Double, Sacrifice Bunt), Pop Foster (1 for 1, Run), and Charley O'Leary (1 for 2, Double). Boston was led by Johnny Lush (2 for 4, RBI) and Frank Chance (2 for 4, Run).

Player of the Game: Johnny Lush (Season: #21 / Career: #21)
