On June 23, 1917, Boston Red Sox pitcher Ernie Shore stepped into a remarkable situation when starter Babe Ruth was ejected after just one batter for arguing with the umpire. Taking the mound as a relief pitcher, Shore faced the challenge of holding the line against Washington—and proceeded to pitch nine complete innings without allowing a single hit, etching his name into baseball history.
