2 Red Sox come from behind to beat New York in six games in 1912 World Series Giants win first two games, but Red Sox win four in a row to capture Series Boston, capitalizing on a whatever meager opportunities afforded them by the New York Giants, rebounded from a two-game deficit, to capture the 1912 replay World Series four games to two. Similar to 1911, when the Giants looked like they were going to run away with the Series against the Philadelphia A s, New York won the first two games. After shifting to Fenway Park, however, The Red Sox terrific battle between Hugh Bedient and Rube Marquard in the final game of the series. Game 1 Polo Grounds, New York New York 3, Boston 2 Game 2 Polo Grounds, New York New York 4, Boston 1 Game 3 Fenway Park, Boston Boston 4, New York 3 (10) Game 4 Fenway Park, Boston Boston 2, New York 1 Game 5 Fenway Park, Boston Boston 3, New York 2 Game 6 Polo Grounds, New York Boston 1, New York 0 The Giants Christy Mathewson won the opener, in the Polo Grounds, 3-2, giving up only six singles. Art Fletcher and Fred Snodgrass both hit RBI singles, but Red Murray squeezed home Fred Merkle to give the Giants the winning run in the eighth, defeating Red Sox ace Joe Wood. Giants southpaw Rube Marquard held Boston to only five hits in the second game, winning 4-1 as Larry Doyle homered and Red Murray and Chief Meyers both had RBI singles. Boston s Hugh Bedient, who was 23-2 in the regular season, was shelled for 10 hits, including a triple by Murray and a double by Chief Meyers. Moving to Fenway Park for Game Three, Boston won a 4-3, 10-inning thriller, with Ray Collins going the distance and Larry Gardner singling in the winning run in the bottom of the tenth. Boston tied the Series in Game Four behind Joe Wood, who avenged his loss in the opener with a 2-1 win over Mathewson in a classic pitching duel Both Boston runs resulted from an error by Art Fletcher in the six while New York s only score came in the fifth when Beals Becker squeezed Chief Meyers home. Mathewson lost, despite giving up only two hits. Wood won, giving up only a single to Buck Herzog. The Giants squandered numerous scoring opportunities in Game Five, dropping a 3-2 decision to Boston and putting the Red Sox only a game away from the championship. The Giants left nine men on base while the Red Sox scored twice in the 7 th and took the lead on Tris Speaker RBI triple to come away with a come-from-behind 3-2 win. The Red Sox captured the Series in Game Six, winning 1-0, in another great pitching duel, as Bedient, hit hard in Game Two, blanked the Giants for 8.2 innings before giving way to Joe Wood in the top of the ninth, who retired the Giants Doc Crandall, with the bases loaded, to end the Series. The only run in the game, off hard-luck loser Rube Marquard, came in the sixth, when Duffy Lewis doubled home Steve Yerkes with what turned out to be the run of the game. Boston only hit.164 in the Series, but their pitching over the final four games, combined with their ability to deliver key hits at just the right moment, proved to be the difference. Only five of Boston s 27 hits in the Series went for extra bases.
3 New York did not beat the cover off the ball, hitting only.232, but could not get to Boston s pitching when it mattered, leaving too many men on base. The Giants lost numerous opportunities in the final four games, leaving nine men on base in Game Three, 10 batters stranded in Game Five and nine left on base in Game Six. Boston s Joe Wood, 1-1 in the Series, with a 2.08 ERA, was named the Series MVP. Wood lost the opener 3-2 to Christy Mathewson, giving up three runs, striking out nine and only walking one. He threw a one-hitter at the Giants in Game Four, allowing only one run and striking out 10. Finally, Wood saved the game that clinched the Series for Boston, nailing Doc Crandall, with the bases loaded, for the final out of the Series. Series notes Boston only had four extra base hits among their total of 27 his in the Series. The Giants had 40 hits in the six games, with seven extra base hits, including a home run by 2b Larry Doyle, off Hugh Bedient, in Game Two. Boston s Joe Wood threw a onehitter at New York in Game Four to beat Christy Mathewson 2-1 and saved Game Six, retiring Doc Crandall in the bottom of the ninth, with the bases loaded. Wood was the Series MVP. The Giants stole six bases in the Series, but New York base stealers were caught seven times. In Game Three, Boston backup C Hick Cady threw out Fred Snodgrass twice and Fred Merkle once. The quality of the pitching in the Series put a premium on small ball. The Red Sox went to the sacrifice bunt seven times. New York sacrificed eight times, two of them that squeezed home runs. New York s Larry Doyle led all hitters, going 7-24,.292. Doyle also led all batters with six strikeouts. Giant RF Red Murray hit.286 (6-21) and leadoff man LF Fred Snodgrass hit.280 (7-25) in the Series. Boston 1b Jake Stahl led the Red Sox going 4-16,.250. Christy Mathewson, who did not walk a single batter in 20 innings of work in the 1911 replay Series again showed pinpoint control, walking only one batter in 17 innings. Boston C Bill Carrigan had to work had to coax the BB off Mathewson with back-to-back 14s against Mathewson, rated a ZZ for control. In the two combined Series, Mathewson walked only one batter in 37 innings of work. Boston s Larry Gardner had to sit out Game Five with an injury. Gardner collided with C Bill Carrigan in Game Four in the first inning, knocking him out of the remainder of the game plus the next game. Clyde Engle filled in for Gardner. Giant reliever Doc Crandall had a Series he would like to forget. Crandall gave up four hits and the winning run to lose Game Three by a 4-3 score. At the plate, Crandall, regarded as a solid hitter, went 0-2 as a pinch hitter. In Game Six, with the bases loaded, Crandall grounded out to 1b Jake Stahl for the final out in the Series.

9 World Series Game 4 Boston 2, New York 1 Red Sox tie Series at two games apiece as Joe Wood throws one-hitter to edge Mathewson in classic pitching duel In a classic pitching duel, Boston s Joe Wood rebounded from his loss in Game One to edge Christy Mathewson 2-1 in a game in which both teams combined for only three hits.

10 World Series Game 5 Boston 3, New York 2 Boston wins third in a row at Fenway; score three runs in late inning for come-from-behind victory New York s Leon Ames only allowed two hits, but one of them was a key two-run double by pinch-hitter Hugh Bradley, tying the game in the 8 th inning and leading to an unlikely come-from-behind win for Boston to put the Red Sox ahead three games to two in the Series. Boston made the most of what little they were offered while the Giants struggled to get a game-breaking hit, leaving 10 runners on base. New York took a 2-0 lead against Boston starter Buck O Brien when Chief Meyers singled in Red Murray in the third and Ames, who had doubled, scored on an error by Boston C Bill Carrigan in the fourth. Boston, meanwhile, was once again slow to get their offense going and, other than a couple of walks, could not touch Ames until the fifth, when SS Heinie Wagner doubled for the first Red Sox base hit, only to be left stranded. In the seventh, with one out, Red Sox 3b Clyde Engle, playing for the injured Larry Gardner, walked and moved to second when Ames hit Jake Stahl with a pitch. After Engle and Stahl moved up with a sacrifice, pinch-hitter Hugh Bradley doubled off Ames to score both runners and tie the game at 2-2. After Ames was been lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth, Jeff Tesreau came on in relief for the Giants. Boston 2b Steve Yerkes singled to lead off against Tesreau and Tris Speaker followed with a long triple to Score Yerkes, with Speaker thrown out at home by Red Murray, with a relay from Larry Doyle, trying to stretch the three-bagger into an inside-thepark home run. Speaker s triple gave Boston a 3-2 lead. Charlie Hall, who relieved in the top of the eighth after O Brien departed for a pinch-hitter, retired the Giants in order in the top of the ninth to preserve the Boston lead and give the Red Sox a 3-2 lead in the Series.

11 World Series Game 6 Boston 1, New York 0 Red Sox Hugh Bedient, Joe Wood blank Giants; Sox win final four games in a row to capture 1912 World Series The stalwart pitching of Boston and a timely RBI double by Duffy Lewis lifted the Red Sox their fourth win in a row to beat New York s Rube Marquard 1-0 and win the 1912 replay World Series. The Giants had plenty of opportunities to score, generating eight hits off Boston starter Hugh Bedient, but could not generate any key hits, leaving nine men on base. Boston, meanwhile, could only garner six hits off Marquard, who won Game Two, but they scored the game s only run in the sixth when Duffy Lewis doubled home Steve Yerkes, who had singled. Lewis RBI double was the only extra base hit by either side. The game s most dramatic moment came in the top of the ninth when, with two out, Bedient gave up back-to-back singles to Buck Herzog and Beals Becker and then hit Art Fletcher with a pitch to load the bases. The Red Sox brought on Joe Wood, with two days rest, and Wood retired Doc Crandall, who had come on in relief for Marquard, for the final out, earning a save and preserving Boston s narrow 1-0 lead for a World Series victory. Boston got six hits off Marquard, five singles and Lewis game-winning double, and left nine men on base.
