1950 World Series Game 7

Detroit Erskine Mayer (1-1 2.81)
@
Cincinnati Fausto Carmona (1-0 0.00)

(Reading the game log as I type, no idea who or how this plays out)

GAME 7
1st Inning
A lone Cavaretta double in the top of 1 results in nothing, no runs on a hit 11 pitches for Carmona.
Mayer has to battle a bit, Goodman works a 1 out walk on a long AB, Briggs a 2 out single but Oldring pops out to end it. 24 pitch first, 0-0 after 1.

2nd inning
Cullenbine and Hatfield hit back to back 1 out singles, Sullivan Jr makes it 3 in a row, driving in Cullenbine for a 1-0 lead. With 2 outs and Womack up a Carmona WP scores Hatfield from 3rd. Womack then singles in Sullivan Jr and is caught stealing on the 1st pitch to Cavaretta to end the inning. 3-0 Detroit heading to the bottomg of 2. Carmona is at 38 pitches after 2.
Reds go quietly after a leadoff Jorgenson single and walk to Sammy White, 2 on none out, but an F7, 5-3 and pop up end it. 42 pitches after 2 for Erskine, 3-0 Tigers.

3rd Inning
Carmona drills McCutcheon with 1 out but gets out of the inning on 13 pitches, 51 for him after 3.
Mayer goes 3 up 3 down on 14 pitches (Briggs with a 9 pitch AB), 56 pitches for Erskine, Tigers ahead 3-0 after 3.

4th Inning
A Cullenbine leadoff walk is erased on a Hatfield DP. 13 pitch inning for Carmona. 64 total after 4.
Mayer goes quickly in the 4th, 9 pitches including an inning ending 6-4-3 after Jorgenson had reached on catchers interference. 65 pitches and a 3-0 lead for Erskine.

5th Inning
Mayer leads off with a single and with 2 outs McCutcheon drive the pitcher home on an RBI single, 4-0 Detroit heading to the bottom of 5. Carmona at 80.
Lee Magee drills a 2 out triple and Goodman follows with an RBI single to get Cincy on the board. 4-1 Detroit after 5, Mayer at 75 pitches.

6th Inning
A Craig Biggio leadoff single sets up Roy Cullenbine's 2 run homer, ending Carmona's day. Carlos Villanueva relieves him and sets the Tigers down in order, but it's 6-1 Detroit and Cincy has 4 at bats left.
The Reds just kill themselves. A Briggs lead off single is erased when Mayer picks him off on the 1st pitch of Rube Oldring AB, made worse when Oldring singles 5 pitches later. He's erased on Jorgenson's 4-6-3 inning ending DP. 6-1 Detroit after 6, Mayer at 85 pitches.

7th Inning
Burt Keeley relieves Villanueva with an out and Cavaretta on 1st, McCutcheon flies out on 1 pitch, Bond walks and Biggio goes F7 to end it. 6-1 Detroit.
A 1 out Ernie R Johnson double nets them nothing as PH Randy Moore grounds out and Lee Magee pops to 1st. Detroit is 6 outs away, Mayer at 95 through 7.

8th Inning
A 1-2-3 top half and Cincy gets the crowd going with back to back singles from Goodman and Walsh to start the bottom of the 8th. With runners on the corners and 0 outs, Briggs pops to shallow center, Oldring does the same thing, and Jorgenson pops to second on the first pitch to kill the rally, inning and maybe the season. Mayer at 111 pitches through 8, 6-1 Tigers.

9th Inning
What feels like the nail in the coffin, a 1 out Womack triple is turned into a run on the next at bat as Cavaretta continues his MVP parade with an RBI single, and a 7-1 Tiger lead into the bottom of 9.

Sammy White drills a first pitch double down the right field line.
Ernie R Johnson hits a grounder to first, moving White to third, but giving a precious out away.
Pinch Hitter Ron Oester pops to short for the 2nd out.
Lee Magee then smacks a line drive to right center, bringing in White, and making it 7-2.
Mayer on the mound, Ivan Goodman at the plate...
Ball 1....
1-0 pitch, cut on, driven to right, Cavaretta camps, caught! The Detroit Tigers are the 1950 World Series Champions!

Detroit wins 4 games to 3
Series MVP Phil Cavaretta 12-29 4 2B's 1 3B 3 HR's 11 RBI's .414/.469/.931
