Centurians def. Left Outers four games to three
Game 7
Centurians 5, Left Outers 1 (10 inn)
Left Outers 000 100 000 0 - 1 8 0
Centurians 010 000 000 4 - 5 11 0
WP: K. Nichols (4-0) LP: F. Jenkins (1-4)
HR: H. Wagner (6)
It took 10 innings to determine who would win this series, and a walk-off grand slam home run by Honus Wagner gave that win to the Centurians 5-1.
Robin Roberts got the surprise start in place of Ferguson Jenkins for the Left Outers, and pitched eight innings allowing one run on seven hits. Christy Mathewson permitted one run on six hits in seven innings for the Centurians.
Bottom of the 10th against Jenkins, Roger Bresnahan and Wee Willie Keeler singled, then Elmer Flick got a base hit past Billy Herman to load the bases with no out. Lou Boudreau at shortstop got the force at home plate. Wagner then belted a grand slam to win the game for the Centurians.
Kid Nichols pitched three scoreless innings for the win. Jenkins got the call in relief and took the loss.
Game Notes: Flick's single was a roll of 1 on the X chart for Billy Herman at second base who is a 2. The HR by Wagner was on Jenkins card and a split of 1-11 HR, 12-20 double, so the game was over either way.
