Overall Advantage Chicago
Jordan got an RBI single in the top of the first to put the Superbas on the board.
Tinker led off the bottom of the third with a single to stretch his hit streak to 12 games. But Tinker would be tagged out at the plate later in the inning when Brown could not put the ball in play on a squeeze bunt attempt.
After three: Brooklyn 1 Chicago 0.
In the bottom of the fourth, Schulte tied the game with an RBI triple. Schulte then scored to give the Cubs the lead when Abbaticchio was unable to handle a Steinfeldt ground ball. Batch then dropped a Slagle fly ball and Steinfeldt scored from second on the play.
In the bottom of the fifth, Batch would drop another one, this time a Moran fly ball. This would lead to Moran scoring on an Evers grounder to second.
In the top of the sixth, the Cubs lead quickly shrank to a single run when Jordan hit an inside the park home run with a man on base.
In the bottom of the sixth, Steinfeldt hit an RBI double.
After six: Chicago 5 Brooklyn 3.
In the top of the ninth, the Superbas had runners at the corners but pinch hitter Phil Lewis flew out to end the sloppily played game.
The two teams combined for 7 unearned runs on 7 errors.
Final score: Chicago 5 Brooklyn 3.
