WP-SATCHEL PAIGE(23-3) LP-KEN CHASE
HR-JOSH GIBSON(43)
A shoo in for National League, Pitcher of the Year; Philadelphia’s Satchel Paige was amazing yet again, as he hurled his third consecutive shutout, defeating the Washington Senators, 1-0, in a pitcher’s duel with Ken Chase.
Each starter allowed but five hits. A solo home run by league leader, Josh Gibson, in the top of the seventh, cost Chase the game.
PHI 3 9 0
WSH 5 12 0
WP-ALEX CARRASQUEL LP-BUMP HADLEY(8-4)
The Senators would get their revenge in game two, defeating the Athletics, 5-3. Myer was 3 for 4 and four other Senators had two hits each.
The top two teams in the league are both idle tomorrow, September 22.
