Game 2 in Pittsburgh, October 10th 1912
Eddie Plank (22-13, 2.29) v Dick Redding (31-9, 2.52)
Senators lead series 1-0
We need to dig deep and bounce back to avoid heading to Washington in an 0-2 hole.
They again score a run in the 1st and pad it with another in the 2nd as Snodgrass continues to rake. We fight back in the bottom 2nd when Wagner triples with two out and Bridwell singles him in and then get even on a WP in the 3rd but leave three on the deck in another wasted chance.
That doesn’t hold long, with Plank having all sorts of problems containing them as they post a deuce in the 4th to go back ahead and once again we are our own worst enemy, leaving men stranded in both the 5th and 6th.
They show us how it’s done and all but put us away with 3 in the 7th, ending a dreadful outing by Plank.
Bresnahan finally gets his first hit of the series to knock one in and another run costs us two when Herzog GIDPs. But they finish us off with one in the 9th and it ends 8-4.
Our wastefulness here is best highlighted by the fact that, despite outhitting them 16 to 14, they still outscore us 2 to 1.
Senators 8, Pirates 4
