1919 AL - Games of Thursday, 26 June

Red Sox 4, Nationals 1: Herb Pennock held Washington to four base hits and Evert Scott had three hits two RBI to lead Boston to victory. Leadoff doubles in the first two frames by Frank Gilhooley, Sam Rice and Scott lead to single runs that left the Sox with a 2-1 lead, and then Scott split the game apart with a two-run single off Harry Harper (2-10) in the 5th. Pennock (2-4) retired seventeen of eighteen at one stretch, and went the full distance without much heartburn. Stuffy McInnis also had three hits and reached base four times. [box]

Herb Pennock, BOS

Tigers 2, Indians 0: Cleveland could do nothing with the slants of Bernie Boland, and Detroit found a way to produce the big hit when it counted to win a tight one at Navin Field. Bobby Veach tripled home a run in the 1st and Ira Flagstead hit a solo home run in the 7th, both with two outs, but otherwise the home side could not do much with Hi Jasper (0-1). But Boland (9-1) allowed two baserunners in only a single inning and retired eighteen men on ground balls on his way to a six-hit (all singles), one-walk whitewash. Flagstead had three hits in three trips, and Tris Speaker singled twice for the Indians. [box]

White Sox 7, Browns 3: Buck Weaver and Joe Jackson had three hits each, and Happy Felsch drive in three, as Chicago used fifteen hits to run past St. Louis. Felsch's two-run triple in the 4th broke a 1-1 tie and his sac fly scored the seventh and final White Sox run in the 9th. Dickey Kerr (5-2) managed to stay out of major trouble, escaping with one Browns run after three hits and an error in the 5th again with bases loaded with two away in the 8th. Baby Doll Jacobson ripped his AL-leading 19th double of the season for St. Louis. [box]
