Washington Senators win the only championship in franchise history

 

On October 10, 1924, the Washington Senators win the only championship in franchise history. The Senators defeat the New York Giants, 4-3, in 12 innings. Future Hall of Famer Walter Johnson, the greatest pitcher in team history, picks up the win in relief.

With the score tied at 3-3 and one out in the bottom of the 12th in Game 7 of the World Series, Senators’ backstop Muddy Ruel lifts a high catchable foul pop-up which Giant catcher Hank Gowdy misses when he stumbles over his mask. Given a second chance, Ruel then doubles and eventually scores the winning run, winning run scores when a ball hit by Earl McNeely hits a pebble and bounces over third baseman Fred Lindstrom’s head.
