1903 World Series Game 7

Game 7: Boston: 7 Pittsburgh: 3 (Boston leads 4-3)
WP: Young (2-1)

LP: Phillippe (3-1)

Pittsburgh was bleeding and desperately needed a win after blowing a 3-1 series lead. They turned to Deacon Phillippe who authored all three of their series victories. It was the fourth and final game in Pittsburgh, with the series looking to return to Boston for Games 8 and 9. Boston handed the ball to Cy Young. The game was not a piece of art as both teams combined for seven errors.

The Americans jumped on Philippe for two in the first. Jimmy Collins and Chick Stahl hit back-to-back triples and Stahl scored on a grounder. Boston added two in the fourth to pretty much put the game away. They led 6-1 in the sixth and 7-2 in the ninth. Pittsburgh scored a slop run in the ninth. Five Boston batsmen slammed triples against the Pirates. Both starters pitched complete games.
