Fenway Fables

June 4, 1918 at Navin Field
Red Sox 7, Tigers 6  (27-16)

The Red Sox salvaged a split with the Tigers in their four game series in a tight game that saw the Sox score three runs in the top of the ninth.  Harry Hooper had yet another great game hitting leadoff with a pair of hits and two runs.  George Whiteman had a double, two singles and a run and Babe Ruth hit a homerun in his third straight game.

Carl Mays didn’t have his best stuff but it was good enough for the win with all of the offense.  He gave up six runs on ten hits and three walks.
