The Gas House Gang

July 24, 1926 at Sportsman’s Park
Giants 5, Cardinals 3  (49-43)

The Cardinals failed to win their 50th game after starter Flint Rhem gave up two runs to tie in the eighth and then two more in the eleventh to take the loss.  Rhem finished the eleven inning game (only took 2:13) and gave up five runs on thirteen hits and three walks with three strikeouts.

The Cardinals had the lead for most of the game in this one.  Billy Southworth doubled and scored twice and continued to play well since the Cardinals traded for him.  Taylor Douthit and Les Bell both had two hits.
