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.

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]
1981-82 NHL Co-Op Replay: MTL at BUF (10-18-81)
18 October 1981: The Sabres potted three straight goals in the second period to climb back from an early deficit and take the lead, and three more in a row on either side of the second intermission to take control of the game and outlast the Canadiens in an 87-SOG shootout at The Aud. Montreal jumped out with the first two goals early in the opening period, but tallies by McKegney (PPG) and Seiling leveled things by the midway point of the period. Larouche and Tremblay struck back for Les Habs in the final six minutes though, Tremblay's goal coming with only eight seconds to go until the horn, to grab control again.
The Sabres were ready for the start of the second, with Gare scoring barely a minute in and Haworth then tying the game just three minutes later. The 21-year-old scored a second five minutes after the first, and Buffalo had the lead and appeared to be in the ascendancy. Acton tied the score at five with about five minutes left in the frame, but Haworth netted the single-period hat trick when he jammed home a rebound at 16:29 to give BUF a one-goal edge heading into the final twenty minutes.
Acton took a minor penalty right off the opening face-off of the 3rd, and Buffalo made it hurt when McKegney got his second PPG of the game to stretch the lead to two. Barely a minute later Van Boxmeer piled on with an eighth BUF goal, and Napier's notch a few minutes later wasn't enough as the Sabres called off the forecheckers and held MTL to only seven shots in the final third. Gare had four points, Langway had four hits, and the Sabres defense was active all game as Schoenfeld and Van Boxmeer combined for 12 shots on goal. Final: Buffalo 8, Montreal 6.
1981-82 NHL Co-Op Replay: EDM at CHI (10-18-81)
18 October 1981: Doug Wilson scored two goals and assisted on two others as the Black Hawks buried Andy Moog beneath an avalanche of rubber (and kept Wayne Gretzky off of the scoresheet) to defeat the Oilers at Chicago Stadium. Wilson started the scoring seven minutes into the game, but Edmonton equalized behind Matti Hagman just three minutes later and it looked as if the game would go into the first intermission as a tight, low-scoring affair. But Chicago struck twice in the final two minutes of the period, and this was the start of a collapse by Mogg that would seem him allow five goals in a span of less than fourteen minutes; by the time he was yanked midway into the second, CHI led 6-3. Tony Esposito (33 saves) saw off a number of good scoring chances in the first two periods, including a number from Gretzky (6 SOG), as EDM pressed for a comeback but gradually the balance of play swung in line with the score. The home team controlled the game in the final twenty minutes, and two minor penalties on Edmonton in the last six minutes (leading to Wilson's second score, on the PP) stifled any chance of a tense finish. Tom Lysiak and Terry Ruskowski had three points each for the Hawks. Final" Chicago 8, Edmonton 4.
