Fenway Fables

May 9, 1918 at Griffith Stadium
Senators 4, Red Sox 3  (12-9)

It took ten innings but the Red Sox suffered their sixth straight loss and in the process, they yielded first place to the Cleveland Indians.  It was an exciting back and forth game that saw the Red Sox tie it with a run in the eighth.  They then took the lead in the top of the ninth only to have the Senators tie it in the bottom.  Then in the tenth, Babe Ruth gave up the deciding run.

Ruth had a truly awesome day at the plate though.  He finished five for five with three doubles and a triple.  He also scored one of the Red Sox runs.
