The Curse of Wrigley Field

June 1, 1908 at West Side Park
Pirates 8, Cubs 6  (23-14)

For only the second time all season, the Cubs lost back to back games in a shootout with the Pirates.  Chick Fraser gave up eight runs on eleven hits and four walks with two strikeouts in eight innings of work.  Three Finger Brown threw a no-hit ninth inning to at least stop the damage, unfortunately, the Cubs couldn’t rally in the final frame.

Del Howard went two for four with a pair of singles and he scored a Cubs run.  Jimmy Sheckard had the only extra base hit for the Cubs with a double and he also scored.
