Series is tied one game apiece
Series Recap
G1: Washington 3, Pittsburgh 2

Game 1: Pitching dominated the series opener with Big Bill Foster going eight innings, giving up 10 hits and four walks but only one run for the Grays. Willard Brown hit a two-run homer in the top of the first for Washington.
Game 2: A ridiculous back and forth slugfest with nine home runs hit in the game. Cristobal Torriente's two-run homer for Pittsburgh tied the game 7-7 in the bottom of the eighth. Washington went ahead 10-7 in the top of the 11th on the third home run of the game by Josh Gibson.
The Crawfords scored four in the bottom of the 11th to win the game. Roosevelt Davis faced five batters and didn't record an out. He walked a run home, Spot Poles singled a run in and a wild pitch tied the game. Bill Byrd came on, still with no out, and intentionally walked Bullet Joe Rogan to load the bases.
