It won’t have any affect on the standings, but the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals and 1933 Washington Senators had an entertaining four-game split, featuring the highest-scoring game of the season, an extra-inning effort and a contest decided in the ninth inning.
Three Senators (14-14) hit better than .400, with Goose Goslin at .450 (9-for-20), Buddy Myer at .438 (7-for-16) and Joe Kuhel at .412 (7-for-17). All three players drove in four runs. Ripper Collins batted .412 (7-for-17) to lead the Cardinals (8-16).
Washington has gone 2-2 in all seven of its series this season.
Game #1: St. Louis 6, Washington 3
The Senators jumped out to a 3-0 lead after two innings thanks to an RBI double from Joe Cronin and a two-run double by Heinie Manush. The lead wouldn’t last, however. Joe Medwick’s two-RBI double put the Cardinals ahead 4-3 in the fifth inning, and he had another one in the ninth inning to make it 6-3.

The Senators sent 14 batters to the plate in the third inning and scored eight runs on seven hits. Goose Goslin had both a two-run double and an RBI single in the inning. Washington’s lead grew to 13-1 after Buddy Myer had a three-run double in the sixth inning. The Cardinals made things interesting by scoring eight runs in the final three innings, though Washington errors meant only three of them were earned.

Game #4: Washington 5, St. Louis 4
Joe Kuhel hit a two-run homer in the third inning to give Washington a 3-0 lead. The Cardinals finally tied it at four in the bottom of the eighth on Jack Rothrock’s two-run homer. With two outs in the top of the ninth, Senator pinch-hitter Dave Harris doubled, and he scored on Buddy Myer’s double. Ripper Collins led off the bottom of the ninth with a single, and he advanced to second base with one out, but got no further. General Crowder picked up his team-high fourth win of the season for Washington.
