Scott, you're right, it was the bottom of the 7th, not the 9th. Pete retired all 7 batters he faced, getting the save. Frank is right also that Babe walked and then was thrown out trying to steal 2b so technically he retired all 7 batters although it took a pitch to the 8th batter to throw out the Babe. B. Meusel was up when Babe took off with Lou Gehrig on deck.
The rest of the post still stands though, the great quote, and Pete's shining moment.
