WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Jimmy Sheckard robbed Tommy Leach of an extra base hit.
Brickyard Kennedy pitched a complete game and Jimmy Sebring had 2 base hits as
the Pittsburgh Pirates won in dramatic fashion over the reeling Brooklyn
Superbas by a score of 7 to 6 at Exposition Park.
Pittsburgh won the game with a rally in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs
utilizing 2 base hits. Ed Phelps started the inning off right when he
reached on an error. After an out was recorded, Ginger Beaumont stepped up
to the plate and he slapped a one-base hit driving in a run. Beaumont was
safe at second on a stolen base. Sebring followed next and he reached on an
error. Honus Wagner stepped into the box and slapped a single scoring
another run. One out later, Claude Ritchey came up and he was walked
intentionally to load the bases. Henry Schmidt then threw a pitch that the
catcher muffed making Pittsburgh the victor and beginning a joyous home town
celebration. Brooklyn scored in 5 different innings, but their shaky
pitching kept them from victory.
The victory was credited to Kennedy(7-2) who went the distance, allowing 6
runs. Schmidt(9-7) was the losing pitcher.
Fred Clarke was all smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking pretty dim
there for a while, but our guys never gave up - and neither did our fans -
they kept cheering us on. What a sweet win!'
