In 1925, the Pirates came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Senators in 7 games. In this series, they're playing against essentially the same team, but with a quicker win. Game 1 was perfect for the fan that likes a lot of offense. Washington scored 6 in the first and were up 8-3 after 3. But by the time the 6th inning ended, the Pirates led 12-11. The Senators tied it in the 7th, but the game was won by the Pirates in the bottom of the 9th with a walk-off Clyde Barnhart double. The Senators also took a large lead early in Game 2, 4-0. But that's all they'd score, and the Pirates scored 3 in the 3rd, 1 in the 4th and 5th, and another 2 in the 7th. After extending the series by winning Game 4, Washington took another early lead in Game 5, but the Pirates tied it at 2 in the 4th. Then Pittsburgh scored a run in the 8th and another in the 9th to seal the series.

Pit 13 Wsh 12
