In the top of the fifth, the scoring continued for the Cubs as Schulte picked up an RBI single. Slagle added an RBI single and was a home run short of the cycle.
Cy Morgan came on to pitch for the Reds in the top of the sixth. But he could not stop the onslaught as Sheckard hit an RBI double. However, Sheckard pulled up with a leg injury running the bases and was replaced by Pat Moran.
In the bottom of the sixth, the shutout bid ended when Barry scored from third on a Seymour groundout to third.
After six: Chicago 12 Cincinnati 1.
