1918 WORLD SERIES

9/6/1918 - GAME 1 INDIANS 7 - ROBINS 3

William Fischer, Tommy Griffith, and George Cutshaw each had 3 hits as Walter Johnson turned up the volume on the Robins in a surprising win over the juggernaut from Brooklyn.

9/7/1918 - GAME 2 INDIANS 1 - ROBINS 5

Eppa Rixey continues his recent hot streak with a steady performance. In his last 5 games, he has allowed only 1 earned run. John Shelton has a solid 2 for 3 day with 1 RBI and 1 SB. The Series goes back to Cleveland tied at 1.

9/9/1918 - GAME 3 ROBINS 4 - INDIANS 5

Each team committed 4 errors in a sloppy, muddy game with a rain delay that lasted over an hour, George Burns stood out with a 3 hit game. Cleveland was ahead 5-1 in the 6th and held off a Brooklyn rally in the top of the 9th.

9/10/1918 - GAME 4 ROBINS 9 - INDIANS 1

The Robins slap Walter Johnson upside the head with a 6 run 7th, and coast the rest of the way. Steve Yerkes leads the way with 3 hits and 3 RBI. It's a best-of-3 Series now.

9/11/1918 - GAME 5 ROBINS 2 - INDIANS 0

Eppa Rixey whitewashes the Indians with a 6 hit shutout, while John Shelton has another solid game with 2 hits and a RBI. The Series now heads back to Brooklyn with the Indians on the brink of elimination.

9/13/1918 - GAME 6 INDIANS 0 - ROBINS 4

The Cleveland defense and offense simultaneously implode with 5 errors and only 3 hits. Edd Roush leads the Robins with 3 hits, and that's more than enough for Lefty Williams to kick the Indians off the reservation.
