Bob Feller strikes out the side in the top of the first but what a nightmare!…In addition to the three strikeouts he walked six, gave up a single, and a stolen base…PRA leads by 4…Wow…Looks like the rest during the bottom of the first did nothing to settle down Feller’s arm…He’s issued his seventh walk to start the second…Shall we see how bad bad can be?…Turns out pretty bad!…A walk, a single, and another walk load the bases before two ground outs and a single (each one scoring a run) and finally, mercifully, a strike out to end the inning…Philly leads 7-0 after 2 and Feller is done…Early Wynn will be in to start the third…Wynn didn’t stop the bleeding but he did slow it down…Rickey Henderson singled then stole second and third before Collins drove him in with a double…Mike Schmidt walked for the third time in three innings. 8-0 Philly…Do they need a mercy rule in baseball or just this game?..Philly sends 8 to the plate in the fourth scoring 3 more on two singles, two doubles, and a triple…11-0 after three-and-a-half…My goodness…Bullet Joe Rogan firing blanks in the fourth…Ohio has sent 11 men to the plate and scored 6…Rogan was pulled for Grover Cleveland Alexander after three-and-two-thirds…Score is now 11-6…Philly loads the bases with none out in the top of the fifth but only manages to score 1…They now lead 12-6…Eppa Rixey on now to pitch for Ohio in the top of the sixth…Rixey flirts with a three-up, three-down sixth but after retiring the first two batters on groundouts, he gives up a dinger to right to Mike Schmidt…Philly has scored in every inning and lead 13-6…Five more for Philly in the 7th and again the damage comes with two outs…A two-run triple by Collins is followed by a walk to George Brett and Mike Schmidt’s second homer in as many innings…18-6…A Turkey Stearnes home run in the top of the ninth makes it 21-6 for Philly and means they score in every inning…Ohio coming up in the bottom of the 9th, facing Dennis Eckersley…Here’s the final accounting…For Philly 21 runs on 20 hits and no errors…Everybody got a hit…Everybody walked…Everybody scored a run…Everybody drove in a run…for Ohio 6 runs 10 hits and 2 errors…Joe Rogan left the game with an 11-6 lead and didn’t get the win.
