Sox starter Ernie Shore (1-2, 4.30 ERA) wasted no time giving up the game's first run in the top of the first. Then a series of blunders led to a 5 run fourth inning that chased Shore from the game. Dutch Leonard stopped the bleeding but it was too late. The offense mustered a run in the sixth and a run in the seventh then rallied for 2 more in the ninth, but ultimately fell 6-4 to drop below .500 for the season.
Jackass of the Night is a tough one but it will have to be Ernie Shore. He lasted just 3 2/3 innings and gave up 6 runs and made one of the Sox' 5 errors during the game.
The Good:
George Ruth pinch hit for Heinie Wagner and drove in a run with a double.
Mike McNally singled and scored in his only plate appearance.
Tris Speaker was 2 for 4 with a walk and drove in a run.
Duffy Lewis was 2 for 5 with a run scored.
Dick Hoblitzell was 2 for 5 with an rbi.
Dutch Leonard pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings and walked at the plate.
Wally Rehg singled and scored as a pinch hitter.
Ray Collins pitched 2 scoreless innings.
The Bad:
Hal Janvrin was 0 for 4 with an error.
Hick Cady was 0 for 2.
Del Gainer was 0 for 1 as a pinch hitter.
Pinch Thomas was 0 for 1 with an error.
Olaf Henriksen was 0 for 1 as a pinch hitter.
The Ugly:
Harry Hooper was just 1 for 5 but stole a base and scored a run.
Heinie Wagner was 0 for 2 but walked.
Everett Scott was just 1 for 5 with an error but drove in a run.
Final Thoughts:
Thank god this month is over. The Sox are inconsistent on both sides of the ball and are making way too many errors in the field. The weather hasn't been great but that's no excuse for someone like Hal Janvrin to have 6 errors already. Luckily there is plenty of time to get their act together but today's effort just wasn't going to cut it. The Sox end the month at 5-6-1 and hopefully May will be better. Who knows who's pitching next and when due to all this rain.
