After two quiet games, the Indians' offense awakened, as they won both Games 3 and 4 in the final innings, taking a comfortable 3-games-to-1 lead over the Cardinals.

Game 3: Indians 7, Cardinals 4

After the Cardinals seized a 3-2 lead in the top of the eighth inning on an Eddie Collins single, the Indians exploded for five runs in the bottom of the inning, aided by a defensive collapse by the Cardinals. The Cardinals could have escaped after surrendering only one run, but they allowed the Indians to break the game open by scoring four runs with two outs, following errors by second baseman Jim Viox and catcher Ray Schalk, an infield single by Ted Easterly, and a line-drive single by Wally Pipp. Vic Maier continued his sizzling postseason by adding two hits and two RBI's, including a homer, for the Cardinals.

Game 4: Indians 9, Cardinals 8

In a seesaw battle destined to become part of World Series lore, the Indians won a dramatic come-from-behind Game 4 on a walk-off double by George Perring -- one of three consecutive extra-base hits in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Cardinals took a one-run lead in the eighth inning, but the Indians erased it on a triple by backup centerfielder Doc Gessler and a single by second baseman Bill Wambsganss. The Cardinals took the lead again in the 9th following two crucial errors by shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh. The Indians, however, scored two runs off Cardinals' reliever Elmer Rieger, behind a double from Ted Easterly, a triple by Wally Pipp, and Perring's game-winning double. The Indians were led by left fielder Red Murray, who homered and drove in four runs. The Cardinals lost despite several superlative offensive performances: Eddie Collins went 4-for-4 with 2 RBI's and a walk. In addition, third baseman Doug Baird ripped two triples, and center fielder Jimmy Johnston had three hits and three stolen bases.
