NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1934 American League                Date: 7/20/1934

 

BOSTON AT CLEVELAND Red Sox......... 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 010 - 12 15 0 Indians......... 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 2 7 1 Win:Ostermueller(4-8) Loss:Hudlin(5-8) Fritz Ostermueller allowed Bucky Harris to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game and Eddie Morgan had 3 base hits and 2 RBI at League Park as the Boston Red Sox embarrassed the Cleveland Indians by the lopsided score of 12 to 2. A hugely decisive outburst by Boston in the 9th inning quieted any Cleveland hopes for a victory when they blasted Cleveland for 10 runs on 8 hits. The highlight belonged to Moose Solters who quieted the crowd when he slapped a base-hit bringing in two baserunners. Boston rapped out 15 hits for the afternoon. The victory went to Ostermueller(4-8) who went the distance allowing 2 runs. The loss was charged to Willis Hudlin(5-8). His ERA ballooned from 3.83 to 4.18 as he allowed 8 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings. NEW YORK AT CHICAGO Yankees......... 0 1 0 0 2 2 4 0 0 0 - 9 12 2 White Sox....... 3 0 4 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 - 10 10 1 Win:Heving(2-1) Loss:Van Atta(2-7) Homeruns- A.Simmons-2(9th) Al Simmons launched 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Comiskey Park where the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees in 10 innings 10 to 9. Both teams were tied at 9 runs apiece after nine innings. Finally, Chicago pulled the game out in the 10th inning. Simmons tripled. Luke Appling was next and he hit a sacrifice fly resulting in an exciting win for Chicago and a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans. Chicago had 10 hits for the afternoon. The victory went to Joe Heving(2-1) who went 3 and 1/3 innings, allowing no runs. Russ Van Atta(2-7) suffered the loss in relief. He surrendered 1 run and 1 hit in 1 inning. WASHINGTON AT ST. LOUIS Nationals....... 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 6 0 - 10 7 2 Browns.......... 2 0 0 1 6 0 0 0 0 - 9 12 2 Win:McColl(4-1) Loss:McAfee(2-2) Save:Prim(1st) Homeruns- B.Myer(2nd), J.Burns(8th) The Washington Nationals nipped the St. Louis Browns 10 to 9 at Sportsman's Park in a hard fought contest. Washington erupted with the game winning runs in the 8th inning when they scored 6 runs on 4 hits. The key at-bat was by Buddy Myer who disappointed the partisan crowd when he launched a rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun (his 2nd of the season). St. Louis had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. Alex McColl(4-1) got the win allowing no runs in 2 innings. McColl got relief help from Ray Prim who gained credit for his 1st save. Bill McAfee(2-2) was tagged with the loss in relief. He was the victim of a defensive lapse and did not allow an earned run in the game.
