Giants score 3 in 10th to beat A’s behind Mathewson

Buck Herzog scores one of three 10th-inning runs for the Giants in Game Two of the World Series. It would be their only hurrah against the Athletics.
 

October 8, 1913 At Shibe Park, Christy Mathewson and Eddie Plank matched craft and guile. In the bottom of the ninth inning of a scoreless game, the Giants put on a stirring baseball version of the “goal-line stand”. With none out, the A’s had Amos Strunk on third and Jack Barry on second. The next batter, Jack Lapp, grounded to first, where Hooks Wiltse, a pitcher, was filling in. Wiltse made a good stop and threw home to nab Strunk. With Barry on third now and Lapp on first, Plank grounded to Wiltse and Hooks fired home again, getting a sliding Barry. Mathewson retired the next hitter, and the game went into extra innings. In the top of the tenth the Giants broke the ice with three runs, with Mathewson singling in the winning run after a leadoff single and sacrifice bunt and then completing the extra-inning shutout by retiring the A’s in their half of the tenth. After Mathewson’s single, an error and hit-by-pitch loaded the bases before Art Fletcher drove in two insurance runs with a single.
