The Gas House Gang

April 26, 1926 at Crosley Field

Reds 3, Cardinals 2  (7-6)

The Cardinals scored two runs to open things up in the top of the first inning only to see the Reds score single runs in the eighth and ninth innings to send the game into extra frames.  The Reds then didn’t waste much time and put the game away when Curt Walker drove home the winning run with a single.

Rogers Hornsby singled and doubled and scored one of the runs.  Heinie Mueller doubled and scored the other.  Walt Huntzinger had a shutout through seven innings, but he ended up taking the loss and gave up three runs on seven hits and five walks with two strikeouts.
