1919 AL - Games of Monday, 15 September

White Sox 7, Athletics 5: Two-run singles by Happy Felsch and Swede Risberg in the 8th inning gave Chicago what looked like a comfortable lead, but Philadelphia made them sweat for the final three outs before succumbing at Shibe Park. An error and an passed ball helped the White Sox score twice in the 1st, but the As got one back in the 4th on Ivy Griffin's triple and Frank Welch's groundout, and the other in the 7th when Welch singled with the bases full and two outs. When Chicago came to bat in the 8th, Eddie Collins and Joe Jackson walked around Buck Weaver's single to fill the sacks with Sox with one out.  Felsch and Risberg then delivered their key hits to put the visitors up by a score of 6-2, and a Collins RBI single the following inning made it a 7-2 game into the bottom of the 9th. Dave Danforth walked two batters with one out to get himself into hot water, and the A's then wrapped three singles back-to-back around a passed ball to score three runs and put the tying run on base. Whitey Witt could only ground out to first base for the final out, however, to make a winner of Red Faber (15-5). Welch had four hits and three RBI in the losing cause. [box]

Yankees 6, Browns 1: New York broke open a close game with six consecutive hits in the 7th inning as they pulled away from St. Louis at home. The Yankees had just taken a 2-1 lead the previous inning behind a leadoff triple from Wally Pipp and an RBI single by Carl Mays, but it appeared as if the 7th would be a quiet inning when Elam Vangilder retired the first two New Yorkers. But, six batters later, the Yanks had collected five singles, a double and four runs across the plate and Mays (10-13) held St. Louis without a base hit over the final two innings to slam the door closed.  Mays and Ping Bodie each had three singles for New York, who amassed sixteen total safeties against Browns pitching.

Red Sox 7, Indians 1: Harry Hooper had three hits, scored two runs and drove in two more as Boston powered past Cleveland. The Indians took an early lead when Everett Scott's error allowed Larry Gardner to score in the 2nd, but big Boston innings in the 5th and 8th were too much for the Tribe to handle. Hopper's two-run single drew first blood in a four-run 5th and he singled, stole second, and scored the final run of a three-run 8th. Boston benefited from five Cleveland errors (three by Gardner at the hot corner), leading to five unearned runs, and the sharp hurling of Waite Hoyt (8-4), who allowed only four hits and a walk.

Indians 3, Red Sox 2: Stan Coveleski pitched seven strong innings, and delivered the key base hit as Cleveland edged Boston at Fenway Park. The home team led 1-0 when Coveleski (14-15) stepped to the plate with two on and two out in the 4th, and grounded a two-run single off of Sam Jones (11-16) that gave the Indians the lead. Coveleski held Boston to three hits over the next four innings, and then yielded to Tony Faeth for two scoreless innings that sealed the win. Harry Hooper reached base three times for the Sox while Joe Harris and Bill Wambsganss had two hits each for the visitors. [box]
