Fenway Fables

June 5, 1918 at League Park
Indians 5, Red Sox 4  (27-17)

Babe Ruth homered in his fourth straight game but it wasn’t enough as the Red Sox lost their series opener to the Indians.  Ruth’s three run blast gave the team a 3-1 lead but that was short lived as the Indians scored single runs in the sixth and seventh.  Both teams scored in the ninth to send the game into extra frames and then Joe Bush took the loss when he gave up a tenth inning run.

Harry Hooper and Dave Shean both had a pair of hits.  Both of Shean’s hits were doubles.
