Shettsline to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game at Baker Bowl as the
Philadelphia Phillies beat the Boston Beaneaters 6 to 3.
 
The game started off with Philadelphia taking the lead in the first scoring 3
runners on 3 hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Elmer Flick who
brought a roar from the partisan Baker Bowl fans when he doubled plating two
runs.  Philadelphia rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Donahue(1-1) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 3 runs. Togie
Pittinger(0-1) was the loser.  He gave up 8 hits and 3 walks in 8 innings.

Giants gagged on this one. Not only did the Superbas come back, but when Doheny came on for the fatigued Mathewson in the 9th, he promptly gave up a 2-run game winning double. Giants rallied to load the bases, but a game ending DP took care of that.

WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Deacon McGuire blocked the plate, saving a run!
 
In a great finish the Brooklyn Superbas came back in the top of the ninth and
held on to win over the New York Giants by a score of 5 to 3 at Polo
Grounds.
 
Brooklyn came through with the game-winning runs in the top of the 9th inning
with 3 runs utilizing 3 base hits.  Tom McCreery opened up the inning nicely
when he drew a walk.  McCreery got a great jump and stole second easily.  Tom
Daly then laced a single resulting in a run.  After an out was recorded,
Deacon McGuire came up and he banged out a single.  McGuire took second on
the throw.  Duke Farrell stepped into the box and doubled as two more runners
crossed the plate.  Brooklyn banged out 9 on the afternoon.  
 
Wild Bill Donovan(1-0) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 8 innings. Brickyard
Kennedy earned his 1st save.  Christy Mathewson(0-1) suffered the loss.  He
gave up 5 runs and 8 hits in 8 and 1/3 innings.  
 
Mathewson was feeling apologetic in the locker room, 'I sure let that one get
away.  What a miserable feeling to let the guys down; and our fans.  One
minute things are looking great, then. BOOM, it's over with! I just hope I
get a chance to redeem myself real soon!'

AL pitching matchups of 4-26-01

Jim Manning and the Washington Senators open their season in Philaelphia, taking on Connie Mack's Athletics. Bill Carrick starts for Washington after getting signed away from the New York National League club. Bill is hoping to improve on his 38-50 lifetime record. Chick Fraser will be his worthy opponent from Philly. Fraser was spirited away from the cross-town, NL rival Phillies. He was 15-9 with a 3.14 ERA.

Ned Garvin starts for Milwaukee as they try and even up their series with Detroit. Garvin pitched for the Chicago Orphans in 1900, and was 10-18, 2.41 ERA. Frank "Yip" Owen will be getting his first professional start for the Tigers.

Boston and Baltimore finally open their American League season. The Americans of Boston will send Win Kellum to the mound in their inaugural appearance. Kellum, a 25-year old from Waterford, Ontario will be making his professional debut. The 30-year old Joe "Iron Man" McGinnity pitches for the Orioles. Iron Man was an outstanding 28-8, with a 2.94 ERA for Brooklyn in 1900.

NL pitching matchups for 4-26-01

Doc Newton will be hoping to turnaround the Reds early 0-2 start by taking the hill today. Newton was 9-15, 4.14 in 1900, so it may be a stretch to count on him as their saviour. The Orphans respond with Long Tom Hughes. Hughes is making his 2nd start of the season, and was successful in his first outing. He got the win against St. Louis on April 20th, allowing only two runs in the process.

The Beaneaters of Boston continue their series in Philadelphia. Togie Pittinger had a poor rookie season in 1900. He compiled a 2-9 record with an ERA of 5.13. Philadelphia, struggling early with a 1-3 record will have Red Donahue on the mound. Donahue is hoping to follow up his solid 1900 season (15-10, 3.60) with a stronger year this time out.

Brooklyn takes their undefeated record across town to take on the Giants. Wild Bill Donovan gets his 2nd start of the season in this matchup. Donovan didn't get the decision in the Superbas opening day 9-8 win in Philadelphia. He went 9 innings, giving up 3 earned runs on 10 hits.

The Giants, after almost a week of inactivity play only their 2nd game of the season. The Giants have 20-year old Christy Mathewson slated to start. Mathewson was 0-3 with an ERA of 5.08 in limited activity during the 1900 season.

April 25th

Miller pitched well, giving up nothing earned. He didn't manage to fan anyone, but he got the job done.

Skopec, and the White Sox "defense" dug too big a hole to get out of. Blues build an early lead and pretty much rest on their laurels.
