Game 37: Detroit Tigers vs. Boston Americans
I'm not going to lie, coming back for the win was a complete surprise. Down by a score of 6 to 0 heading into the bottom of the 6th inning, the Boston Americans (15-22) mounted a comeback that resulted in a dramatic 7 to 6 walk-off victory over the Detroit Tigers (21-16).
Noodles Hahn got the nod for the start but did not factor into the decision, as he allowed 6 earned runs on 9 hits, 2 walks, and 1 hit batsman in 7 innings of play; Game Score of 38. Reliever Oscar Jones (1-1) finished the final 2 innings to pick up the win, allowing just 1 hit and 1 walk in the victory. Bob Ewing (4-3) took the loss after allowing 7 runs (6 earned) on 8 hits and 4 walks in 8 1/3 innings of play.
The Americans scoring was led by Frank Chance (2 for 5, Homerun, Run, 3 RBIs), Jiggs Donahue (2 for 4, Triple, 3 RBIs), and Bill Lange (1 for 3, 2 Runs, RBI, 2 Walks, 2 Stolen Bases). The Tigers were led by Roger Bresnahan (2 for 5, Homerun, Run, 3 RBIs), Eddie Abbaticchio (3 for 4, Run, Walk), and Mike Donlin (1 for 5, Double, Run, RBI, Stolen Base).
Player of the Game: Frank Chance (Season: #1 / Career: #7)
