GEORGE MOGRIDGE |
WORLD CHAMPS AGAIN
The Red Sox give it to the Yankees
September 7, 1915
...
The Red Sox continued to play sorry baseball against the Yankees, tossing them another game. It was the first time since they visited Chicago in May that they've lost three games in a row. The Sox gave up five runs in the third inning.
Errors, three of them by commission and the rest a matter of judgment, made the five runs easy for New York. Boston made a little two run rally in the fifth inning that the Yankees immediately matched in the sixth. And then when there was a chance for a rally in the ninth inning,
with three Sox runners on base, the top of batting order could not get them in. George Mogridge was on the mound for the Yankees against Ernie Shore, who was not very good. Ray Collins finished the string for the Red Sox giving up another six hits, one of which was a double to Hugh
High to get the two runs back in the sixth inning. Mogridge gave up eight hits, four bunched together for a pair of runs, after the Yanks jumped out to their lead. The Yankees laid down no fewer than six bunts in their five run inning, and five bunts resulted in the batter reaching
first base. The Yankees have now won nine games over the Red Sox this season. |
