Red Sox 9, Senators 1  (25-13)

The Red Sox made it four straight wins as they blew out the Senators in their second straight doubleheader.  There were plenty of hitting stars in this one as Stuff McInnis and Fred Thomas both had a pair of hits and three runs each.  Everett Scott doubled three times and he scored once.

Lost in all of the offense was a nice start by Dutch Leonard.  He gave up one run on nine hits and four walks with four strikeouts.

Senators 4, Red Sox 0  (25-14)

The Red Sox four game winning streak came to an end as the Senators salvaged the fourth and final game of the series.  THe team managed just six hits and couldn’t push a single baserunner across in the Red Sox fourth shutout loss of the season.  Dave Shean was the only Red Sox with a pair of hits in this one.

Dick McCabe took the loss in his first and only start of the season.  He gave up four runs on eleven hits and two walks with three strikeouts.

The game ended a three week homestand that saw the Red Sox go 13-5.  Now they’d hit the road for nearly three weeks and you’d hope they’d keep the wins rolling.
