June 6, 1920 (Game 21)

Baltimore 10 - Boston 2
The Canaries jumped on Boston starter Ed McDonough (3-2)  early, and followed suit with the relief staff.  The trio of David Nemec (4), Robert Shipley (1), and starter Pop Bender (1) combined for back-to-back-to-back home runs in the top of the 5th.  Bender (3-2) pitched a complete game for the victory to continue Boston losing streak to 8 games, but to pass them in the standings.

Washington 5 - New York 4
Pat Witmer ruined Frank Olin's save attempt with a game-tying home run (3) in the top of the 9th, and Knight hitters scored the go ahead in the 11th, only to have John Deasely (4) and Jim Halpin (2) homer back-to-back to win in Manager Tom Evers' debut.   Bill Rollinson (2-2) earned the win, while New York's Lou Rinaldi (1-1) was credited with the loss.  Grahahm (2) and Williams (1) homered for the Knights.

Newark 3 - Pittsburgh 2
Charlie Reilley hit a lead-off homer (2), and the crafty Eagles baserunner scored enough runs for Newark to edge the Hornets.

Providence 1 - Philadelphia 0
In an intense pitching duel, Ken Swartz drove in the lone run of the game with a double in the bottom of the 9th.  Willard Remaley (2-1) threw a 1-hit shutout and a struck out seven.  Jim Brown (1-4) also struck out seven for Philadelphia, and craftily spread out five hits and five walks until the 9th inning.
