2025 MLS Co-Op Replay - SD at LA (2-23-2025)

February 26, 2026 by 

23 February 2025: The inaugural campaign for San Diego FC got off to a rollicking start when, only five minutes into their history, Anders Dreyer was tripped from behind in the area by Edwin Cerillo and calmly slotted home the penalty for a 1-0 SDFC lead before many of the Angelenos had settled in their seats. While both clubs shared the possession equally as the game developed, San Diego were the side able to use their time on the ball to create chances while the Galaxy struggled to find solutions to the San Diego defense. LA's frustration began to surface as they accrued three yellow cards in the first half, two in the final twenty minutes.

Braves 8, Robins 7: Boston rapped out eighteen hits at Ebbets Field, yet still required four runs in the final two innings to overtake the Robins and capture a sweep of their doubleheader. The two clubs combined for a whopping thirty-six opportunities with runners in scoring position in the game, but it was Brooklyn who took better advantage of those chances in the early going. They scored singletons in each of the first three innings to take a 3-1 lead, before three consecutive two-out RBI singles by Boston gave the visitors a short-lived 4-3 lead. Larry Cheney was rocked by the Robins in the bottom of the 5th, giving up two doubles and two singles to the first four Brooklyn batters, and the home team scored four times to fly back into the catbird seat. It looked as if Clarence Mitchell (2-2) would make that stand, as he got through 7.2 innings without further Boston damage despite putting runners in scoring position in each of the 6th, 7th and 8th innings. Pinch-hitter Red Smith's RBI single in the 8th made it 7-5, and Mitchell came back out for the 9th despite having already allowed fourteen hits; the first two Braves singled, but Mitchell got Walter Holke to tap weakly in front of the mound for the first out, and Tony Boeckel to ground to third for what looked like the second. Chuck Ward had other ideas down at the hot corner, however, losing the handle on the sphere while Ray Powell scored to make it 7-6. Rabbit Maranville was next, and he singled home Jim Thorpe to tie the game and end a long afternoon of toil for Mitchell. Al Mamaux got Hank Gowdy to watch a third strike, but couldn't escape as Braves relief pitcher Art Nehf lined a base hit into right field to give Boston the lead once again. Nehf (6-9) finished off two innings of scoreless relief wit ha 1-2-3 9th inning to lock it up for the Braves. [box]

Reds 4, Cardinals 0: The deliveries of Jimmy Ring were a complete mystery to St. Louis batters, who could manage to collect just two safe hits all afternoon at Redland Field. Meanwhile the Reds' hitters were having their way with Cardinal starter Bill Doak in the early going - four bases on balls in the first three innings, and a Doc Lavan error, helped set the table for RBIs by Edd Roush, Jake Daubert, Rube Bressler and Ivey Wingo as the home club jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Doak was almost untouchable from there forward, but it was too late for the visitors; Ring didn't allow a hit after Frank Snyder's third-inning single, and retired eight of the final nine to close out a masterful performance. Heinie Groh had three hits for Cincinnati. [box]

Phillies 4, Braves 3: Philadelphia scored twice in the 9th inning after being down to their last remaining out, and once on the 10th to snatch a victory from the grasp of the Bostons at Braves Field. After the Phillies had scored the opening run in the 2nd on two singles and a passed ball, the home nine built an early 3-1 lead behind RBI singles from Tony Boeckel and Walter Holke, and a run-scoring wild pitch by George Smith. Jack Scott held that lead for the Braves through eight innings, and retired the first two batters in the Philadelphia 9th as the home fans began to celebrate. But Bevo LeBourveau drew a pinch-hit walk to prolong matters, and Leo Callahan and Harry Pearce followed with singles that Philled the sacks with baserunners and the one final out still yet to secure for Boston. Doug Baird (1-for-3 with a walk so far) was next to bat, with the dangerous heart of the Phillies lineup on deck, so Scott was forced to deal directly with the PHI third baseman; Baird poked a blooper into shallow left field which no Brave could reach, and two runners came around to score and tie the ballgame at three. Larry Cheney (0-2) came on in relief of Scott to escape further damage, but he would not be so fortunate in the 10th. Gavy Cravath walked to start the frame, and stole second, but Cheney appeared to have rendered that moot when he put away the next two batters. Late-game catching replacement Hick Cady struck the big blow, however, in his first at-bat of the game when he drove a ball over Ray Powell's head in right field and up against the fence for three bases and a Philadelphia lead. Gene Packard (3-8) set Boston down in order in the home half of the inning and what was left of the crowd departed in stunned silence having been deprived of their anticipated win in shocking fashion by the League's cellar dwellers. [box]

Reds 4, Cubs 0: Slim Sallee pitched his second shutout of the season and Heinie Groh and Larry Kopf had three hits each as Cincinnati topped Chicago. Kopf knocked in all four Reds runs of the game, grounding out after Greasy Neale's triple in the 2nd, singling home Groh in the 6th and then lacing a two-run single in the 8th. Sallee, meanwhile, allowed one hit in the first four innings, and was only ever in any difficulty when he allowed two one-out singles in each of the 5th and 9th innings. The Reds' veteran lefty didn't allow a free pass, running his streak of frames without issuing a walk to twenty-one in a row. Lee Magee had four of the seven Cub hits. [box]

Pirates 2, Cardinals 1: On a day when the two teams could combine for only a total of four hits, and starters Bill Doak and Erksine Mayer both flirted with immortality, it was untimely defensive lapses that relegated St. Louis to a painful defeat at home. Mayer set down twenty of the first twenty-one, an error producing the only baserunner, while Doak had allowed just a walk through the first seven frames. Thus the game headed to the 8th with neither side having recorded a safe hit, and the Forbes Field crowd was buzzing with expectation that one (or both!) of the pitching men might record an historic feat. But Rogers Hornsby led off the STL 8th with a double and, two outs later, scored the game's first run on Frank Snyder's single. Perhaps the visitors relaxed after finally getting on the scoresheet, and with Doak (5-8) looking dominant, but Billy Southworth singled as the first man up for the Pirates and shortstop Doc Lavan then threw the ball into the stands behind first base on a grounder off the bat of Hooks Warner. There were now two men in scoring position with none out, and the crowd's thoughts of tomorrow's legacy were now quickly turning to panic over today's outcome. Vic Saier kept the suspense to a minimum by immediately following Warner with a single to center that scored both runners after Cliff Heathcote fumbled the pickup and denied himself any chance to cut down the go-ahead run at the plate. Mayer (6-4) said "thank you very much" to his teammates and retired the top three in the Cardinal batting order in the 9th to secure the win for Pittsburgh. [box]
