Fenway Fables

May 27, 1918 at Fenway Park
White Sox 6, Red Sox 4  (21-13)

The Red Sox lost to the defending champions on Red Cross day in a game that saw Dutch Leonard blow an early Red Sox lead.  A 4-2 lead turned into 6-4 loss when he gave up a run in the seventh and two in the eighth.  Joe Bush didn’t help matters and he gave up an insurance run in the ninth in his one inning of relief.

Harry Hooper was the hitting star in the loss.  He was a perfect three for three and he scored two of the Red Sox four runs.
