Play-by-play:

Shean walks, forcing in a run (Harper throws 11 straight balls at one point). Strunk taps a grounder that is fumbled by Morgan at second, Ruth scores. With a 3-0 count on Schang, Harper is pulled and Earl Yingling is the new pitcher. Schang eventually strikes out. McInnis singles, Hooper scores. Hoblitzell walks to force in another run. A double play ends the inning, Scott out on a fantastic play by Morgan spearing ball one-handed.
Washington 4th – Strunk made a hell of a sliding diving catch off Clyde Milan fly ball.
Red Sox 4th – Agnew singles to left. After Ruth and Hooper make outs, Shean singles to left, Agnew to third, Shean takes second on the throw home. Agnew scores on a wild pitch. Strunk safe on an infield hit to second, and on a wild throw, Shean scores.
Washington 6th- Ainsmith doubles over Strunk’s head in center, but Ruth makes two good fielding plays to save a run.

Washington 8th – Morgan singles to left and goes to second on Schang’s fumble. Foster flies out. Ainsmith walks. Gharrity hits for Yingling and lines a double to center, Morgan scores. Shotton walks to load the bases and Lavan hits into a double play.
Red Sox 9th – Scott singles. Agnew strikes out, but Scott takes second on a stolen base/passed ball. Ruth walks. Scott and Ruth attempt a double steal; Scott is safe at third and Foster throws to no one at second. The ball goes into the outfield, Scott scores. Hooper’s hit scores Ruth.
