Keating Loses In 12th Inning To St Louis Browns
The New York Yankees dropped a 6 to 5 twelve inning thriller at Sproul Park yesterday to the St Louis Browns. Ernie Johnson delivered a clutch hit in the 12th after a tied ninth, while Lefty High’s spectacular catch kept New York from collapsing earlier. Ray Keating struggled locating the plate as the Browns tied the score in the ninth and won with Chapman drawing a walk and Shro hazed the backstop for a decisive single to right. Eadie Plank, a 41 year old fan, faced Plank until the eighth before the Yankees exploded for four runs and chased the veteran hurler from the game.
