Bob Wicker of the Chicago Cubs pitches 9 1/3 hitless innings before Sam Mertes of the Giants singles. Wicker will win, 1 – 0, with a 12-inning one-hitter. This is the second time that Mertes has broken up an extra-inning no-hitter. Iron Joe McGinnity pitches 9 innings of scoreless ball for New York. Chicago wins it in the 12th‚ 1 – 0‚ when Johnny Evers’ 2-out single off McGinnity scores Frank Chance. It is Iron Joe’s first loss after 14 straight wins. Wicker is near flawless‚ striking out 10.
