Athletics Halt Highlanders Run Game,Win 5-0
Columbia Park,Phila.Pa.-In a clinic like performance,the Philadelphia Athletics behind another complete game shutout by Chief Bender dismantled the New York offense on their way to a 5-0 victory.The Athletics set the tone early,throwing out the first two runners who attempted to steal a base,effectively grounding the explosive Highlander attack.The A's mounted their own attack in the bottom of the third when following a Danny Hoffman leadoff single and a sacrifice bunt by Danny Murphy,Topsy Hartsel singled home Hoffman who was then doubled home by Harry Davis who finally returned to action after a 5 week rib injury.Following a Socks Seybold strikeout,Lave Cross singled home Davis giving the Athletics a 3-0 after 3.That score would remain until the 7th when Topsy Hartsel singled home Danny Hoffman giving the A's a 4-0 lead.The Athletics struck again in the 8th on a Chief Bender RBI single that ended the scoring at 5-0.On the hill,The Chief was in absolute control the entire game allowing 5 hits and 5 walks while fanning 6 in the complete game victory.Offensively,Danny Hoffman reeked havoc on New York going 4 for 4 with 2 stolen bases and 2 runs scored.All in all,this was the best all around game of the season for Philadelphia who get another boost tomorrow with the return of starting shortstop Monte Cross for this weekend's series in Boston.Cross has been out for the last four weeks with a damaged meniscus.Here's the box score.
