1911 Top Mound Showdown - Mathewson v Richie

Lew Richie (10-68, Cubs) vs Christy Mathewson (10-73, Giants)

1911 Cubs   100 000 000  -  1  3  0 
1911 Giants 000 000 20-  -  2  6  2

W - Mathewson    L - Richie

Mathewson had some bad luck in the first inning when Josh Devore's two base error on lead off hitter Jimmy Sheckard led to an unearned run. Solly Hofman's sac fly scored Sheckard. But after that Mathewson was really on his game retiring 16 hitters in a row during one stretch.

Richie kept the Giants off the scoreboard until seventh. Larry Doyle led off with a triple and scored on Red Murray's single. Murray scored what turned out to be the game winner on Fred Merkle's triple.
