Red Sox 7, Yankees 6: Harry Hooper singled home Del Gainer in the bottom of the 12th inning, and Babe Ruth homered for the fifth time in six games, as Boston pipped New York at Fenway Park. The late-game heroics overshadowed the two-homer performance of Wally Pipp for the Yankees, the 7th multi-homer game of the season in the American League. Boston led 4-0 after five innings on the strength of Ruth's three-run blast for his 19th home run of the year, but Pipp went into the seats for two runs in both the 6th and the 7th, the latter giving New York a 5-4 lead. Red Shannon tripled home a pair in the Boston 7th to take back the advantage, and Ping Bodie singled home a run in the top of the 8th to send the game to the end of regulation with the score tied at six. New York had two on and nobody out in the 10th, but failed to score, and then the Red Sox found themselves in the same situation in the 12th. Everett Scott sacrificed the runners to second and third and pinch-hitter Stuffy McInnis was intentionally walked to put the force play in order, but this was all for naught as Hooper was next to the plate and he stroked one into left field to end the game in favor of the home side. Braggo Roth had three hits, and Shannon drew three walks, for Boston. [box]
