1876 - World Series Game 5

After our early lead in the series was gone, we were up for the last away game of the series. Lineups:



Both teams started off well and scored a run in the 1st inning. For Boston, George Bechtel, who had finally recovered from his injury, started the ballgame with a single and was batted in by George Hall. For Cleveland, it was Juan Ramos who hit a single and batted in Carlos Tamayo who had reached third base after a series of errors. 1-1

Boston jumped out in front in the 3rd, when Ricardo Rosas crossed the plate after Cleveland didn't manage to bring the ball back fast enough from a catched flyball. 2-1 Boston.

The game was tied by Cleveland in the 4th, when Jon Pierson crossed the plate following an error by George Hall. 2-2.

The decision came in the fifth inning, when Cleveland scored 4 runs after a series of errors and two singles by Jim A Devlin and Cap Anson. 6-2 Cleveland.

In the following innings, Boston didn't give away any more runs, but the three more runs were not enough anymore to stop Cleveland today.
