SERIES CHAMPS
The Yankees shut out the Red Sox May 8, 1916 ...
Smiling Bill Donovan's Yankees handed the Red Sox a farewell kiss with a 4-0 shutout loss in the final game of the series. The Carrigan boys didn't stand a chance, being completely at the mercy of George Mogridge, the young left-hander, who held them to
three hits, one of which was a scratch infield hit. He was the master at all times, as only one Sox player made it beyond first base. Sam Agnew, after getting a single, reached third on Harry Hooper's line drive to right, which Frank Gilhooley shot to Frank Baker at third, just a
little too late. Up to the sixth inning, only one hit had been made off him and that was a cheap one which Larry Gardner slammed back to him that bounced off his glove. After the sixth, Mogridge held the Sox hitless. He gave but one pass and fanned three, and fielded his
position perfectly in eight chances. Vean Gregg was the Sox pitcher, going six innings and was found for six hits, including two doubles. On the positive side was the catching of Sam Agnew, who threw out four baserunners. |
