Game 76: Boston Americans vs. Cleveland Bronchos
A tough game to lose! After a competitive 12 1/2 innings of play, shortstop Kid Elberfeld booted two groundballs in the bottom of the 13th inning to give the Cleveland Bronchos (37-39) a 5 to 4 win over the Boston Americans (55-21). In picking up the victory, Kid Nichols (8-11) allowed 4 earned runs on 14 hits, 4 walks, and 1 wild pitch to finish with a Game Score of 61. Jesse Tannehill (14-6) took the loss after giving up 5 runs (1 earned) on 13 hits and 2 hit batsmen on 186 pitches; Game Score of 67.
With nearly 13 innings of play, there were several notable hitting lines, including Ed Delahanty (2 for 6, Triple, 1 Run), Zeke Wrigley (2 for 5, 1 Run, 1 Stolen Base), and Jimmy Sheckard (2 for 3, 1 Run) for the Bronchos, while Chick Stahl (3 for 6, 1 Run, 2 Stolen Bases), Jesse Tannehill (3 for 5, 2 Doubles, 1 Run), and John Farrell (2 for 5, 1 Run, 1 RBI, and 1 Walk) played well for Boston. It is worthy to note that the Americans committed 3 errors, were caught stealing 4 times, left 20 runners on base, and had runners thrown out at 3rd and home during the game -- ouch!
Player of the Game: Jesse Tannehill (Season: #12 / Career: #33)
