Fenway Fables

April 15, 1918 at Fenway Park
Red Sox 7, Athletics 1  (1-0)

The Red Sox won their home opener behind some solid hitting and a four hit start by Babe Ruth.  Ruth gave up just one run on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts and he held the A’s scoreless over the final seven frames.

Right fielder Harry Hooper brought the big stick to the game from the leadoff spot.  He doubled twice and scored a run while shortstop Everett Scott went two for three with two runs.
