The underdog Bronchos and Pirates traded blowout victories, as Cleveland won the first three games of the World Series before Pittsburgh stopped the surge-- at least temporarily

Game 3: Cleveland 12, Pittsburgh 5

The red-hot Bronchos continued their dominance over the suddenly-mortal Pirates, scoring three runs in the first inning, and jumping out to a 9-1 lead. The Pirates gave them a scare, tallying four runs in the 8th inning (including three triples) to cut the lead to 9-5, but Cleveland added three more insurance runs in the bottom of the frame to complete the romp. Offensively, they were led by right fielder Elmer Flick and left fielder Charlie Hemphill, each of whom had four hits and three RBIS; Flick also slugged a double and a triple. On the mound, the Bronchos got a scare when Barney Pelty left the game in the sixth inning with a back injury -- while not serious, he may miss his next start. Surprisingly, the desperate Pirates went back to Game 1 starter Jesse Tannehill, who was completely ineffective, surrendering 13 hits and 7 runs in five innings. For the game, the Bronchos slapped 20 hits.

Game 4: Pittsburgh 9, Cleveland 2

In a three-game hole, the Pirates responded with a resounding victory. The Pirates scored two quick runs off Otto Hess in the opening frame, then continued to pile on, tallying six extra base hits on the day. Fred Clarke led the Pirates with two hits and four RBI, and NL batting champion Ginger Beaumont chipped in with a double and a triple. The Bronchos' only offensive sign of life came in the sixth inning, when Nap Lajoie and Elmer Flick ripped back-to-back triples-- but they were trailing 8-0 at the time. Hess was pulled in the sixth inning, having surrendered eight runs on ten hits. The series returns to Pittsburgh.
