WORLD SERIES BOX SCORES UPDATED


WORLD SERIES

The Giants scored 3 runs off Corky Stell in the first 2 innings then added 3 more runs in the 5th. Meanwhile, Garland Sisk allowed just 2 runs off 6 hits.

Tigers 2 - Giants 6


The Tigers scored 3 runs in the 1st inning off Walter Pond. The runs came via a leadoff double from David Castaneda, a 1-out RBI single by Ray Kress and a 2 out, 2-run homerun from Matt Perly. Down 5-2 in the bottom of the 9th, New York got runners on the corners with no out against closer Lloyd Wyman. Tom Howard hit into a crucial double play that scored a run. Then Nick Pursell flied out to end the game.

Tigers 5 - Giants 3


New York scored a run in the 1st, but then Bud Ulrich calmed down and the Tigers offense took over. Detroit scored 3 runs in the 1st on a 3-run shot by Luther Ormiston. Then they scored 4 runs in the 3rd off two 2-run homers, one by Ray Kress and one by John Degal. Ulrich went on to allow just the one run off 5 hits in 7.2 IP, while Jack Schoonover allowed 7 runs before being lifted after 4 IP.

Giants 1 - Tigers 8


The Tigers broke open a scoreless tie with a 2-out grand slam by Kress in the 4th. Garland Sisk coughed up a solo dinger to Roland Fish in the 5th, while Bud Ulrich cruised along. Stell allowed just 2 runs off 7 hits over 7 IP. New York once again got to closer Wyman in the 9th with back-to-back 2-out singles. An error by shortstop Castaneda allowed a run to score and the inning to continue. Matt Perly then made a great defensive effort on a slow roller between 1st and 2nd to throw out Nick Pursell and end the game, giving Detroit a big 3-1 series lead.

Giants 3 - Tigers 6


Matt Perly hit a 3-run homer to highlight a 5-run 1st inning for Detroit. They scored another run in the 2nd and after two singles led off the 3rd, Walter Pond was chased from the game, slamming his glove onto the dugout floor on his way out. Detroit went on to add 2 more runs that inning in what turned out to be a 10-0 rout. Hal Andrew tossed a 4-hit shutout for his 2nd win of the series.

Giants 0 - Tigers 10



Ray Kress and Hal Andrew were named co-MVP's. In a Series where Detroit's offense dominated, Kress put on one of the best hitting performances EVER. He hit .600 with 4 HR, 2 doubles, 10 RBI, 7 runs, 7 walks, a .727 OBP, a 1.533 SLG and an unimaginable 2.261 OPS.

Not to be outdone, Andrew dominated New York from the pitching mound. He went 2-0 with a 1.15 ERA, including a 4-hit shutout in the clinching Game 5.
