1981-82 NHL Co-Op Replay: BOS at MTL (10-24-81)

21 October 1981: With defensive stalwarts Ray Bourque and Steve Kasper out of the lineup due to injury, the Bruins were likely to find it hard going to handle the Canadiens in front of their home crowd. After the two teams spent the first five minutes exchanging the puck in the neutral zone with shots hard to come by, the game looked as if it would be played at Boston's pace. But Larry Robinson found Mark Napier in the slot for a goal at 7:19 and the ice began to tilt in Montreal's direction. Boston probably would have take a one-goal deficit at the intermission, but Bob Gainey rifled one home from left circle with just over a minute left in the period to double the MTL lead.

2024 CFL: Calgary at Edmonton

Edmonton's defense disintegrated in the final quarter, allowing Calgary to rack up 160 yards and two majors in their first two possessions, as the Stampeders pulled away to win 32-10 at Commonwealth Stadium. The Stamps struck first when Jake Maier capped an eight-play drive on their first possession with a five-yard strike to Marken Michel, and René Paredes added a 45 FG the next time they had the ball. Calgary's third possession ended in a score as well, as they ground out an 11-play, 53-yard drive that was finished off when Matthew Shiltz snuck the ball in from the 1 on the second attempt. It looked like an early blowout for the Elks at home, but they got on the board late in the first half when McLeod Bethel-Thompson hit Eugene Lewis with a 23-yard touchdown pass; CAL added another point on a Cody Grace single before the halftime break.

1981-82 NHL Co-Op Replay: HAR at EDM (10-21-81)

21 October 1981: Pat Hughes had two goals and two assists to lead the Oilers to a double-digit drubbing of the Whalers in Edmonton. The visitors were in the game briefly when Mark Howe's power-play goal tied the score at one early in the opening period, but Edmonton scored four goals without response over the remainder of the frame. The Whale got another PP marker in the second, but so did Wayne Gretzky, and Hughes scored his second goal of the game to make it 7-2 after two. John Garrett was lifted for Greg Millen in the Hartford net, but it didn't really matter as the home team added to the carnage with three more scores in the final twenty minutes. FINAL: Edmonton 10, Hartford 2.

1919 NL - Games of Saturday, 31 May

Robins 3, Giants 2: Rube Marquard pitched a seven-hitter and Ed Konetchy singled home the eventual decisive run in the 8th inning as Brooklyn slipped past their cross-town rivals. RBI from Konetchy and Ernie Krueger had given the Robins a 2-0 lead while Marquard was spinning a whitewash, but Bew York got to him for a run in the 7th on when he booted Art Fletcher's ground ball with Benny Kauff on third. But Konetchy (3-for-3), two RBI) upped the advantage in the next half-inning and Marquard survived a second-and-third, no-out jam in the bottom of the 9th by striking out pinch-hitter George Kelly with Kauff standing at second base. [box]

1919 NL - Games of Friday, 30 May

It was a Memorial Day full of action in the 1919 National League, with eight games on the slate. There were late-inning homers, crucial errors, and pitchers’ duels while the clubs jockeyed for position as the season heads into the start of June . . .

Phillies 6, Braves 2: Philadelphia turned an NL season-high five double plays and Gavy Cravath hit a three-run home run in the 8th inning that broke open a close game and enabled the Phillies to top Boston at Braves Field. The Phils jumped out to a 2-0 1st-inning lead when the first five batters rocked Hugh McQuillan for three extra-base hits, but Boston got one back in the 2nd after Harry Pearce's fielding error set up a run-scoring groundout from Rabbit Maranville. The clubs traded runs in the 7th to make the score 3-2 in favor of the visitors, but Cravath struck the death blow in the top of the 8th. Cy Williams reached on Maranville's muff to start the inning and, after a force out, Fred Luderus singled. That put two aboard for Gavy, who launched his League-leading fourth long ball over the wall in left for three runs, a four-run PHI lead, and a shower for McQuillan. Gene Packard benefited from two of the twin killings in the final two innings to carry the torch to the end on a complete-game effort in which he allowed no earned runs. Cravath (.354/.403/.677 thus far) had a single and a triple in addition to his homer, while Ray Powell and Lena Blackburne had three hits each for Boston. [box]
