***Got a little excited about the season wrapping up and did not keep the order of the posts correct***

Game 135: The game that ended Boston's pennant chances. The Americans (79-56) fell behind early and simply could not string the hits together to put pressure on the Athletics (55-80); losing by a score of 6 to 1. Philadelphia pitcher Mal Eason (16-10) picked up the win, allowing 1 earned run on 9 hits and 2 walks for a Game Score of 67. The timely hitting of Honus Wagner (2 for 4, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI), George Magoon (3 for 4, Double), and George Davis (2 for 4, 1 Run, 1 Walk) knocked Boston pitcher Jesse Tannehill (20-13) out of the game due to allowing 4 runs (2 earned) on 10 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings of play; Game Score of 48. Al Orth pitched the final inning, allowing 2 earned runs on 2 hits. John Farrell (2 for 5, Double) and Win Mercer (2 for 5, 1 Run) helped Boston's limited offense.

Player of the Game: Mal Eason

Game 136: A common theme throughout the season for the Americans has been untimely errors directly affecting the outcome of the game. Here was another example, as Philadelphia (56-80) topped Boston (79-57) by a score of 6 to 5 due to an error committed by 2nd baseman John Farrell. Doc McJames (12-12) picked up the win (5 Runs, 3 Earned, Game Score of 59), while Cy Young (20-13) was tagged with the loss (6 Runs, 1 Earned, Gamed Score of 44). Tom McCreery (3 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 3 RBIs), Heinie Reitz (3 for 4, 1 Run, 1 Walk), and George Davis (3 for 5) led the team to victory. Bill Lange (2 for 5, Triple, 1 Run, 2 RBI) and Ossee Schreckengost (1 for 2, 2 Runs, 1 Walk) hit well in the loss.

Player of the Game: Doc McJames

Game 137: The 4 to 3 win completed Philadelphia's (57-80) sweep of Boston (79-58). Sam Leever (15-17) picked up the win for the Athletics (3 Runs, 2 Earned, Game Score of 67), and Fred Klobedanz (16-17) was saddled with the loss - his 5th straight (4 Runs, 3 Earned, 5 Walks; Game Score of 55). Disappointing game and very disappointing series.

Player of the Game: Sam Leever
