THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 16, 2024 Page 17 DIAMOND DUST | FROM PAGE 16 lar play – caught stealing – let alone in Game 7 of the World Series! **** Unusual game-ending play from 1926 World Series actually concluded a Malden High game that Tornados won this past spring. The play that ended the 1926 MLB World Series where Babe Ruth was caught stealing with two outs is a true rarity in baseball. It was actually the way a key Malden High baseball win concluded this past season, one that saw the Golden Tornado squad have its best season in 30 years with a 16-5 overall record. There were two outs and a man on fi rst in the top of the seventh inning, and Lynn Classical was down to its last out with freshman Ryan Bowdridge on the mound for the Tornados, the third of three pitchers for the home team that afternoon at Pine Banks Park. Sophomore Ryan McMahon and junior Jake Simpson had held visiting Lynn Classical to three runs as Malden had built a 5-3 lead after fi ve innings. After a leadoff strikeout, one of four on the game by Bowdridge, a Rams single put a runner on fi rst. A popup for the second out left the runner at fi rst with Lynn Classical now down to its last out. With the count 1-1, the Rams runner broke for second on a steal attempt. Malden High junior catcher Bo Stead fi red a missile to second, and the senior captain and second baseman caught the throw and tagged the runner for the third out, ending the game. For Stead, it was his second runner thrown out in the game and perhaps the biggest one of his three-year varsity career, as Malden completed the two-game season sweep of Classical. **** Question of the Week Only fi ve MLB Baseball Hall of Fame inductees appear with their permanent honoree busts with “no logo” on their hats, apparently all of them signifying they played or were a team manager for multiple teams. Can you name them for points? DIAMOND DUST | SEE PAGE 20 OBITUARIES Arthur “Artie” J. Scenna his furry friend Bitz.
