1903 World Series Game 6

Game 6: Boston: 6 Pittsburgh: 3 (Series tied 3-3)
WP: Dinneen (2-1)

LP: Leever (0-2)

Sam Leever managed to pitch more than a solitary inning in his second start of the 1903 World Series. Leever made it the whole 9 innings in his second start, but took another loss. Bill Dinneen bested him for the second time in the series with a complete game of his own. Both starters allowed 10 hits, but Dinneen limited the damage to three runs while Leever surrendered four earned.

The game was scoreless until the third when Boston put up three on three singles, a walk, and an error. The Americans put the game away in the fifth with two more runs. They scored their final run in the seventh on a Candy LaChance double. Pittsburgh tallied three in the bottom of the seventh on a Ginger Beaumont single and a 2-run double by Fred Clarke. Beaumont had four hits, Clarke and Jimmy Sebring had two each. Chick Stahl and Hobe Ferris had two knocks each for Boston.
