By the top of the seventh, with Washington still hanging on to its two-run lead, the rain was coming down very hard. The Nats were doing nothing offensively against Ray Kremer, who had stepped in for Morrison to start the fifth. Johnny Moore opened the bottom of the inning with a pop fly to left which Roger Peckinpaugh dropped for his seventh error of the Series. Max Carey, 3-for-3 with two doubles, sent a Texas Leaguer down the left field line that Bluege, Goslin, and Peckinpaugh converged on. They all reacted as though the ball was foul, and had begun to return to their positions when they heard the fair call.
Carey, hampered by two ribs broken in the previous game, hustled into second with his fourth hit of the day and his third double. Moore scored, closing the gap to 6-5 in favor of Washington. With two down, Pie Traynor tripled to bring in the tying run. Traynor's smash rolled to the fence in right center and was retrieved by Joe Harris. Harris's relay to his namesake, the second baseman, found its way to the plate in time to nip Traynor, who was trying for the tie-breaking run. This ended the inning, and none too soon, as the score was knotted at 6-6.
With one out in the eighth, the harried Roger Peckinpaugh drove a ball high over the low temporary fence in left field, a magnificent moment of retribution for him. If this homer held, Peck's considerable sins would all be forgiven. His value to this club was well known -- he was going through a period of incredibly hard luck at an incredibly inopportune time. In the bottom of the eighth, Johnson got two easy outs and the Senators were getting close to their second straight world championship. With two strikes on him, Earl Smith rapped a double to right center and Carson Bigbee, pinch hitting for pitcher Kremer, slammed the Pirates' seventh double of the day to bring in pinch-runner Emil Yde with the tying run.
