Week 10

Sunday: Legends 1, 1992 Dodgers 0
WP: Johnson
LP: Hershiser

Walter Johnson threw a three-hitter with eight strikeouts. He needed to be that good, because Orel Hershiser allowed just one run in his seven innings. Mike Schmidt hit a pair of doubles for the Legends; the first one, in the fourth inning, drove in Stan Musial with the game's only run.

Monday: Legends 5, 2009 Nationals 4
WP: Wilhelm
LP: MacDougal
HR: Dunn (1), Zimmerman (1), Schmidt (12)

The Nationals never trailed until Henry Aaron singled home the winner with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. John Lannan held the Legends to one run in six innings on five hits and wound up with the no-decision. Stan Coveleski allowed just five hits in eight innings, but they were all for extra bases, and he allowed four runs. Hoyt Wilhelm picked up the win with an inning of hitless relief.

Tuesday: Legends 4, 1973 Rangers 0
WP: Gibson
LP: Bibby
HR: Ruth 2 (27), Aaron (22)

Bob Gibson threw the sixth one-hitter of the Gauntlet. Toby Harrah singled in the fourth. Gibson walked two and struck out eight. Babe Ruth homered twice, one with a man on, and Henry Aaron also homered off Jim Bibby, who allowed 10 hits in seven-plus innings.

Wednesday: Legends 6, 1961 Phillies 3
WP: Rogan
LP: Owens
Save: Fingers (5)
HR: Williams (15)

Joe Morgan hit a pair of doubles and Bullet Joe Rogan allowed two earned runs in eight innings. Ted Williams homered and singled for a pair of RBIs, and Stan Musial drew three of the Legends' eight walks.

Thursday: Legends 5, 2017 Tigers 0
WP: Vance
LP: Fullmer

Dazzy Vance struck out 14 in his five-hit shutout, and Joe Morgan and Stan Musial both drove in two runs. Morgan's sixth-inning single put the Legends up 2-0, and Musial's double in the seventh keyed a three-run inning. Vance struck out J.D. Martinez three times.

Friday: Legends 6, 1973 Padres 3
WP: Cummings
LP: Jones
Save: Wilhelm (5)

Honus Wagner went 3-for-4 with two doubles, scored twice and drove in a pair as the Legends completed the Gauntlet with a 68-1 record. Candy Cummings threw six innings of shutout ball but surrendered three runs in the seventh. Hoyt Wilhelm allowed doubles in both the eighth and ninth innings but neither runner advanced as he earned his fifth save.
