Game 115: Boston Americans vs. Chicago White Sox
It took extra innings to decide the outcome, but the solid pitching of Johnny Lush and the clutch hit of Chick Stahl propelled the Boston Americans (67-48) to a 2 to 1 victory over the Chicago White Sox (46-69). The win, coupled to a Senators loss, places the Americans into a 2-game lead in the American League race.
Picking up his 16th win of his rookie season, Johnny Lush (16-12) allowed just 1 earned run on 4 hits, 2 hit batsmen, 1 wild pitch while striking out 6 in his 123-pitch, 10 inning outing; Game Score 85. Bill Carrick (13-15) was tagged with the loss after permitting 2 runs (1 earned) on 7 hits and 1 walk; Game Score 73.
With limited offense by both teams, not many hitting performances to spotlight. Chick Stahl (1 for 3, RBI. Sacrifice Bunt) contributed for Boston, while Harry Bay (1 for 3, Run, Walk) played well for Chicago.
Player of the Game: Johnny Lush (Season: #18 / Career: #18)
