WORLD SERIES BOX SCORES UPDATED

WORLD SERIES

New York's Walter Pond and Philadelphia's Bob Stevens went toe-to-toe in a pitcher's duel that limited both teams to just 1 run for the first 7 innings. Then in the bottom of the 8th, Pond gave up a walk, three consecutive singles and a sac fly to give Philly a 3-1 lead. In the 9th, the Giants countered with 2 runs of their own, thanks to back-to-back doubles from SS George Roth and pinch hitter Stu Cripps followed by a RBI single from 1B Carlos Hulse. With a runner on 1st and no outs in the bottom of the 9th, Jacob Walensky entered the game. He got Sal Poulos to ground out, moving the runner to 2nd. But then CF Todd Walker hit a clutch single to win the game.

Giants 3 - Athletics 4

The next day saw another pitching duel, this time between New York's Garland Sisk and Philadelphia's Ellis Weeks. A Todd Walker homer gave the A's a 1-0 lead in the 4th, but thanks to an error and a wild pitch, a Johnny Champagne single tied the score in the 5th. The score remained 1-1 until Jacob Walensky once again found himself coming into the game with a runner on 1st and no outs in the bottom of the 9th. Hans Habermehl grounded into a force out at 2nd, but the speedy "Ace" stole second and moved to 3rd one pitch later thanks to a passed ball. Peaches Badeau hit a hard grounder to the pitcher, but Walensky couldn't handle it, and Habermehl blazed home for the winning run.

Giants 1 - Athletics 2

Back home in New York, the Giants unloaded on Philly's Tad Zonkas, hitting 4 homeruns that accounted for 5 runs in the first 5 innings. After allowing two 1st inning runs, Giants starter Jack Schoonover sailed the rest of the way to a 8-2 win.

Athletics 2 - Giants 8

Pond and Stevens locked up in another great game. This time the day belonged to Pond, who allowed 1 run on just 4 hits. In the top of the 8th, the A's scored a run to narrow the score to 2-1. Then with 2 runners on base and 2 outs, Pond got LF Hershel Cooley to ground out and end the inning.

Athletics 1 - Giants 3

The bats showed up on this day, especially the bat of A's catcher Hershel Lee who pounded 2 homeruns. His first shot came in the 4th, and his homer in the 5th gave Philly a 5-4 lead. Then with a runner on 2nd and 2 outs in the 7th, Weeks coughed up 4 straight singles. Reliever Cal Grainger came in a promptly allowed three more consecutive singles. That added up to a 6-run inning as New York took a 3-2 series lead.

Athletics 5 - Giants 10

With their backs against the wall, the A's came out and scored a run in the 2nd and another in the 3rd off Schoonover to take a 2-0 lead. Zonkas allowed an unearned run in the 6th, but that was all the Giants could muster as Zonkas made up for his poor Game 3 performance with 8 2/3 innings of 3-hit baseball.

Giants 1 - Athletics 2

This all came down to Game 7 and both teams had their aces on the mound. This 3rd rematch between Pond and Stevens was all the sports world had talked about since the exciting Game 6 ended. This game didn't quite live up to its billing though, as Pond lasted just 3 2/3 innings. During that time he allowed 8 runs off 9 hits and 5 walks. After that, the A's never looked back as they went on to end the longest World Championship draught of any major league team - 45 years!

Giants 2 - Athletics 9

Bob Stevens was named World Series MVP, going 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA and 18 K in 25 IP.
