Ed Summers vs Mordecai Brown 10/14/1908, @ Bennett Park
FRANK CHANCE LEADS CUBS TO VICTORY
The Peerless Leader managed in just 11 seasons, winning 946 games. He managed 8 seasons with the Cubs, 2 with the Yankees, and news to me, 1 season with the Red Sox.
Frank Chance hit 2 doubles driving in 4 runs to help lead the Cubs to a series tying victory.
Neither starting pitcher brought their “A” games. The Cubs jumped on Ed Summers with 2 runs in the 1st, thanks to Chance’s 1st double. Mordecai Brown allowed 3 singles and a walk in the bottom of the 1st, but Matty McIntyre got thrown out trying to stretch a single in to a double, and Brown was able to get out of the inning without allowing a run.
Johnny Evers banged out 4 hits including a triple and a double. This series is now tied at 2 games apiece.
