REGULAR SEASON FIZZLES OUT – SENATORS HOLD OFF TIGERS, WHITE SOX AND AMERICANS IN AL – ORPHANS DO IT EASY IN NL

Notable Performances

3rd: The fading Tigers come back from 4-0, scoring 5 over the last three innings to sneak past the A’s for a crucial win. Elsewhere, Pittsburgh 3B Abraham Nunez goes 7-for-7 with a trip and 6 ribsters in a 22-9 dismantling of the Beaneaters. Teammate Sam Fuld also has 5 hits.
6th: The AL-leading Senators waste a great opportunity to maintain their advantage in the standings when, after rallying with 4 runs in the top of the 9th to take an 8-6 lead, they concede 3 to the White Sox in the bottom half to go down in a 9-8 heartbreaker.
8th: A 10-spot in the 5th helps the Orphans cruise past the Beaneaters 12-6.
10th: The Senators blow their fourth straight lead, this time giving up 8 in the 9th to eventually lose 15-14 to the Americans in 10.
11th: It’ll look comfortable in the line score, but the Cards made heavy work of their 18-12 defeat of the Beaneaters, conceding 8 in the 8th before rallying with 9 of their own in the 9th for the win.
12th: A huge game for Senators SP Pete Schourek sees him not only get his 10th win of the season for Washington since being acquired from the Browns, but also go 5-for-6 with two triples and two RBI.
14th: It looks like it will all be for naught, but the White Sox rip the hearts out of Tigers fans with a 10-run 8th getting them a 13-8 win.
19th: The Orphans clinch the NL pennant going away, booking their first playoff appearance. A 4-1 win the next day behind a Billy Hoeft two-hitter books Washington their place in the World Series against them.
26th: In a nice tune-up for the upcoming World Series, the Senators crush the A’s 21-6, with SS Alex Gonzalez’s 6 RBI leading the way.

Feats and Streaks

20th: Pirates RF Buddy Lewis sees his 30-game hit streak end in a 3-0 loss to the Orphans.
30th: Al Shaw of the Giants stretches his hit streak to 30 games, a string he’ll carry into next season. Meanwhile, in his final game of the campaign, Pete Runnells from the Phillies breaks Wally Backman’s season record when he cracks his 241st hit of the year.
