What a nice way to end the month of April and start May with a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox by the hometown Boston Americans. In each game, Chicago jumped out to an early lead only to have Boston come back to take the game -- nice to see the team not giving up when down.

Game 27: Riding on the arm of team ace Noodles Hahn, the Boston Americans (17-10) topped the Chicago White Sox (14-13) by a score of 8 to 3. Hahn (5-3) went the distance, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 8 hits and striking out 4 to finish with a Game Score of 64. White Sox pitcher Bill Carrick (2-6) took the loss by allowing 8 runs (2 earned) on 14 hits to finish with a Game Score of 29. The Boston hit-attack was led by Frank Chance (3 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 1 Walk), Fred Clarke (2 for 4, 3 Runs, 1 Walk, 1 SB, and league leading .442 batting average), and Noodles Hahn (3 for 3).

Player of the Game: Noodles Hahn (Season: #5 / Career: #5)

Game 28: Not the best game that Jesse Tannehill has ever pitched, but it was good enough to give Boston (18-10) a 6 to 3 win over the White Sox (14-14). In going the distance, Tannehill (5-2) allowed 3 runs (2 earned) on 11 hits while striking out 7 to finish with a Game Score of 62. Chicago pitcher Jim Sullivan (4-2) took the loss, giving up 6 runs (4 earned) on 11 hits and 1 walk to finish with a Game Score of 38. Boston second baseman John Farrell had a nice day at the plate, going 2 for 3 (2 runs and 1 walk), while Tannehill helped his cause by smashing a solo-shot in the 3rd inning. In the losing cause, Mike Grady (4 for 4) and John Anderson (2 for 4, Double and Triple) provided some offensive punch.

Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #5 / Career: #5)

Game 29: Despite setting an American League mark by allowing 8 walks, Boston (19-10) starter Fred Klobedanz (6-1) somehow kept Chicago (14-15) in check to pull out the 5 to 3 victory. Klobedanz gave up 3 runs (2 earned) on 8 hits and 8 walks to finish with a Game Score of 54. The star of the day was Boston shortstop Kid Elberfeld whose 3 for 4 (3 RBIs and 1 Run) effort propelled the hometown team to victory. White Sox centerfielder Billy Hoy tried his best to help his team, smashing 2 Doubles on the way to a 3 for 5 (2 RBIs) day.
