Boston wins the second game as Del Gainer drives in McNally for the decisive run in the 14th inning after Robby Robison Smith of Brooklyn stifles Boston for long stretches. Ruth and Smith star as pitchers in a historic snowball of a contest.
The game featured clutch pitching by Ruth and sharp fielding from Lewis Myers and Gardners. Brooklyn stars Wheat Daubert Mowrey and Hoblitzer impressed while Mike struggled to capitalize on openings, shaping a tense loss for Boston as Gardners error and late baserunning left the outcome undecided.
Play by play describes early scoring by Brooklyn and Red Sox as Myers scores on a misplayed ball in center and Hooper misjudges a catch.
