Jesse Tannehill vs Rube Waddell 10/11/1902, @ Columbia Park
NOTE: The Pirates and A’s did not meet in the post season in 1902.
TANNEHILL CARRIES PIRATES TO VICTORY
Jesse Tannehill is a 6x 20 game winner
Jesse Tannehill pitched effectively but hit even better as the Pirates finally figured out a way to beat the pesky Philadelphia A’s.
Tannehill staked the Pirates to a 3-0 lead in the 2nd when he plunked a Rube Waddell fastball off the left field foul pole for a 3 run home run. Tannehill’s blast was aided by a 17mph wind. The A’s answered back in the 4th when they scored 3, powered by Danny Murphy’s 2 run triple off Tannehill.
Waddell settled down to throw 6 scoreless innings while the A’s took a 4-3 lead in the 7th when Topsy Hartsell doubled in Monte Cross.
Trailing 4-3 entering the 9th the Pirates rallied against a laboring Waddell. Claude Ritchey walked to start the inning and moved to 3rd on a Lefty Davis single. One out later Jesse Tannehill coaxed a slow ground ball into left field to drive in the tying run, his 4th rbi of the game. Ginger Beaumont singled in the winning run, and Honus Wagner doubled in 2 more to ice the game.
Tannehill put the A’s down easily in the 9th, striking out Topsy Hartsell to end the game.
The A’s still lead the series 2-1.
