Rube Waddell vs Jesse Tannehill 10/15/1902, @, Columbia Park
WADDELL HITS AND PITCHES A’S TO VICTORY
I wish I had money so I could buy stuff like this.
Rube Waddell struck out 6, and hit a double and a triple to lead the A’s to a game 5 victory and a 3-2 lead in this best of 7 series.
The A’s scored 2 runs in the 1st and 2 in the 2nd to take an early 4-1 lead. Waddell’s triple in the 2nd was the big blow.
The Pirates battled back to within one run in the 8th. A laboring Waddell gave up a 2 run single to Kitty Bransfield, but a double play grounder off the bat of Claude Ritchey snuffed the rally. Despite giving up just 1 walk, Waddell went to a 3-2 count with batter after batter, but was able to get the key pitch when needed. Waddell went to a 3-2 count with all 3 Pirate batters in the 9th, but retired them on a deep fly ball, a strike out, and a hard line out.
