Not the results that the Boston fans were looking for in the 3-game series against the Brewers:

Game 123: The Americans (72-51) fell behind early and could not catch up to the Brewers (51-72) as they lost the game 6 to 5. Frank Owen (15-16) picked up the win by allowing 5 runs (3 earned) on 9 hits and 2 walks to finish with a Game Score of 56. Patsy Donovan (3 for 4, 2 Doubles, 1 Run, 2 RBIs) and Bill Hassamaer (3 for 4, Double, 2 RBIs, 1 Walk) had a great day at the plate. Jesse Tannehill (18-12) took the loss after allowing 6 runs (4 earned) on 9 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings; Game Score of 44. Bob Lawson pitched the final inning in the loss. Jesse Hoffmeister (2 for 5, Triple, 2 RBIs) played well in the loss.

Young (18-12), who is now 9-2 in his last 11 starts, limited the opposition to 1 earned un on 7 hits and 2 walks for a Game Score of 70.

Game 125: A dramatic extra-innings game that ended with the Milwaukee Brewers (52-73) scoring the winning run after Boston (73-52) 3rd baseman Jesse Hoffmeister booted the ball in the 12th inning to end the game with a 2 to 1 score. While starting pitcher Tom Hughes (9-22, ND) did not get credited for the win, he pitched very well as he allowed just 1 earned run on 4 hits and 3 walks over 8 innings for a Game Score of 77. Gene Wright pitched 2 innings of relief and then turned it over for the final 2 innings of pitching by Roger Denzer (1-0). Fred Klobedanz (16-14) took the loss despite allowing 2 runs (0 earned) on 7 hits and 2 walks over 11 innings for a Game Score of 80.

While their odds are slim, Boston continues to hold on to a glimmer of hope in the American League pennant chase. A 3-game sweep of the Orioles sure helped keep the dream alive.

Game 126: Boston (74-52) fell behind early and had to claw its way back to take a late-inning lead on the way to a 5 to 4 victory over the Orioles (51-75). While not his best game of the year, Noodles Hahn (22-12) did just enough to get his team the win, allowing 4 earned runs on 8 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of 61. The Americans had a fairly balanced hitting attack, with contributions from Win Mercer (2 for 5, Triple, 1 Run, 1 RBI), Frank Chance (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Walk), Kid Elberfeld (2 for 4, Double, 2 Runs), and Ossee Schreckengost (2 for 4, Double, 1 RBI). Wiley Piatt (11-18) got hit with the loss, as he allowed 5 runs (4 earned) on 12 hits and 1 walk for a Game Score of 47. Jimmy Collins (2 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI) played well in the loss.

Game 127: This one was never in doubt, as Jesse Tannehill led the Americans (75-52) to an 8 to 1 win over the Orioles (51-76). Tannehill (19-12) cruised to victory by allowing just 1 earned run on 7 hits, striking out 7 to finish with a Game Score of 76. Despite no having any extra-base hits among the 13 hits on the day, Boston hitters played well including Bill Lange (3 for 6, 1 Run, 1 RBI), Kid Elberfeld (3 for 5, 1 Run, 1 RBI), and Ossee Schreckengost (1 for 3, 2 Runs, 2 Walks). Baltimore pitcher Ed Doheny (13-13) took the loss, allowing 7 runs (4 earned) on 8 hits and 5 walks over 6 innings; Game Score of 33. Zeke Wilson pitched the final 3 innings in the loss.

Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #20 / Career: #20)

Game 128: This was an odd game, as Boston (76-52) was cruising with a 3 to 0 lead on the pitching of Cy Young only to see Baltimore (51-77) storm back to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th inning. The contest was finally decided in the 12th inning, as the Americans prevailed by a score of 5 to 3. Young (19-12), tossing a season-high 210 pitches, allowed 3 earned runs on 15 hits and 3 walks for a Game Score of 65. Sport McAllister (2 for 2, Homerun, 1 Run, 2 RBIs), Fred Clarke (2 for 5, Double, Triple, 2 RBIs), and Win Mercer (3 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI) pounded the ball. Ed Murphy (12-13, ND) did not factor into the decision but did pitch well by allowing 3 earned runs on 7 hits for a Game Score of 65. Christy Mathewson pitched 1 inning of scoreless ball and turned it over to Ted Lewis (7-16) who took the loss by allowing 2 runs (0 earned) on 2 hits over 2 innings of play. Jimmy Collins (4 for 6, Double, 2 RBIs) and Jesse Burkett (3 for 6, 1 Run) were outstanding at the plate today for the Orioles.

OmahaBaseball · 02-28-2023, 09:19 PM

What a season Rube Waddell is having, as the powerhouse pitcher struck out a record 16 batters in a tough 14 inning loss to the Cleveland Blues. Waddell's dominance this season has been incredible, with no pitcher able to match the sheer power this fireball hurler creates.

The American League leading Detroit Tigers journeyed to Beantown in an attempt to fend off the late-season push of the Boston Americans.

Game 129: In a game that saw Detroit (84-45) jump out to an early lead, it was nice to see Boston (76-53) battle back to tie the game in the 7th inning.

Doc White (23-11) picked up the win, allowing 2 earned runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, striking out 8 to finish with a Game Score of 90.

With just 9 games remaining, the pennant chase is nearly wrapped up for the Tigers and the Beaneaters. It will take a miracle for one of the chase teams to jump ahead of the league leaders.

OmahaBaseball · 03-02-2023, 09:14 PM

Boston needed to sweep the White Sox to remain in the American League pennant chase. Instead, they dropped 2 of 3 games and all about dashed any postseason hope.

Game 132: A great game by the Americans (79-55), as they pounded the ball and got a solid pitching performance from Cy Young to get the 12 to 2 win over the White Sox (54-80). Young (20-12) allowed 2 runs (0 earned) on 6 hits and 3 walks for a Game Score of 70. The offense was paced by Fred Clarke (2 for 4, Double, Home Run, 1 Run, 6 RBIs), Bill Lange (3 for 4, 3 Runs, 1 RBI, 1 Walk), and Cy Young (2 for 4, Double, 2 Runs). Chicago pitcher Brickyard Kennedy (8-10) only lasted 1 1/3 innings after he allowed 9 runs (5 earned) on 8 hits and 1 walk for a dismal Game Score of 3. George Hemming covered the final 7 2/3 innings, allowing 3 earned runs on 4 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5.

Player of the Game: Bill Carrick

Game 134: Entering into the 9th inning, Boston was in control and Noodles Hahn was poised to pick up his 24th win of the season; Chicago had other plans! Scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th, the White Sox (54-80) topped the Americans (79-55) by a score of 3 to 2. Bill Phillips (16-17) picked up the win (Game Score of 73), while Noodles Hahn (23-13) was saddled with the loss (Game Score of 65).

Game 132: A great game by the Americans (79-55), as they pounded the ball and got a solid pitching performance from Cy Young to get the 12 to 2 win over the White Sox (54-80). Young (20-12) allowed 2 runs (0 earned) on 6 hits and 3 walks for a Game Score of 70. The offense was paced by Fred Clarke (2 for 4, Double, Home Run, 1 Run, 6 RBIs), Bill Lange (3 for 4, 3 Runs, 1 RBI, 1 Walk), and Cy Young (2 for 4, Double, 2 Runs). Chicago pitcher Brickyard Kennedy (8-10) only lasted 1 1/3 innings after he allowed 9 runs (5 earned) on 8 hits and 1 walk for a dismal Game Score of 3. George Hemming covered the final 7 2/3 innings, allowing 3 earned runs on 4 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5. Player of the Game: Fred Clarke (Season: #1 / Career: #1) Game 133: The White Sox (53-80) quickly put up runs over the first few innings and cruised to a 7 to 4 victory over the Americans (79-54). Bill Carrick (11-22) picked up the win, allowing 4 earned runs on 10 hits and 5 walks for a Game Score of 49. John Anderson (3 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI), Hughie Jennings (2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 Walk), and Harry Bay (2 for 4, 1 Run, 1 RBI) had a solid day at the plate. Boston pitcher Fred Klobedanz (16-16) took the loss after allowing 7 runs (4 earned) on 10 hits and 3 walks in 6 innings of play; Game Score of 31. Chummy Gray and Willie Garoni each pitched 1 inning of scoreless ball. Despite the loss, Kid Elberfeld (2 for 4, Triple, 1 Run, 3 RBIs) and Jesse Hoffmeister (2 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 1 Walk) played well. Player of the Game: Bill Carrick Game 134: Entering into the 9th inning, Boston was in control and Noodles Hahn was poised to pick up his 24th win of the season; Chicago had other plans! Scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th, the White Sox (54-80) topped the Americans (79-55) by a score of 3 to 2. Bill Phillips (16-17) picked up the win (Game Score of 73), while Noodles Hahn (23-13) was saddled with the loss (Game Score of 65). Chicago 1st baseman John Anderson went 2 for 4, Double, 1 Run was the star hitter for the winning team, while Win Mercer (3 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI) played well for the beloved Americans.
