WEB GEMS- Top 4th: Nap Lajoie robbed Jake Gettman of a base hit.
John Anderson had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Win Mercer pitched a complete game
as the Washington Senators defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 8 to 6 at Baker
Bowl.
Mercer(9-11) delivered a fine performance for Washington. He surrendered 13
hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. This was the kind of game that many fans love
as the lead changed hands 5 times.
Wiley Piatt(10-7) was hit with the loss. He was hit hard and gave up 12 hits
and 6 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings. 'I had a little blister on my index finger
before the game, but I thought it was nothing.' Mercer said. 'I was lucky I
got a win because I couldn't put the ball where I wanted it.'
