TEAM RISP- Athletics: 4 for 11  Highlanders: 4 for 18

Shortstop Simon Nicholls had 4 hits and 2 RBI as the Philadelphia Athletics
defeated the New York Highlanders in 11 innings by a score of 8 to 7 at
Hilltop Park.

Both teams were tied at 6 runs apiece after nine innings. Finally,
Philadelphia prevailed in the 11th inning.  After two were out Ira Thomas
opened up the rally as he laced a base-hit.  A balk was called.  Topsy
Hartsel then was walked intentionally.  George McConnell then threw a wild
pitch.  Nicholls stepped into the box and lined a single, and an error was
also committed, driving in two more baserunners.  Philadelphia won despite
being out-hit by New York 13 hits to 10.  

The victory was credited to Jimmy Dygert(2-0) who went 5 and 2/3 innings,
allowing 6 runs. McConnell(0-1) was hit with the loss in relief.
