White Sox 6, Senators 5  (9-13)

The White Sox ended a five game losing streak as they held off the Washington Senators in extra innings.  The White Sox jumped out to a 3-1 lead, but the Senators tied the game with two runs in the eighth.

In the top of the tenth, Tip O’Neill made the first out, but then Frank Isbell singled.  George Davis doubled to put runners at second and third, and then Jiggs Donahue hit a comebacker to Senators starter Tom Hughes.  Hughes knocked it down and when he tried to gun down Isbell at the plate, he threw the ball into the stands.  Davis scored on the errant throw and then Ed Hahn’s single drove home Donahue.

The Senators scored two runs off starter Frank Smith, but Fielder Jones put in reliever Roy Patterson and he got the final two outs of the game to end it.
