Overall Advantage Chicago
In the top of the first, Chance picked up his 50th RBI of the season with a run-scoring single that put the Cubs on the board. Steinfeldt added an RBI single of his own in the inning.
In the bottom of the first, Smoot delivered a two out RBI single to put the Cardinals on the board.
After three: Chicago 2 St Louis 1.
In the top of the fourth, the Cubs had runners at first and second with two out. Brown singled up the middle but Smoot threw Hofman out at home as he was trying to score from second and that retired the side.
In the top of the fifth, Chance picked up an RBI with a sacrifice fly.
In the top of the sixth, the Cubs had runners at first and second with nobody out. Hofman laid down his 10th sacrifice hit of the season to move the runners to second and third. An intentional walk to Kling loaded the bases with one out. Brown then went down on strikes and there were two out. Fromme then struck out Sheckard to get out of the inning.
After six: Chicago 3 St Louis 1.
In the top of the seventh, with two men on and one out, a similar occurrence to fourth inning occurred with Murray throwing Tinker out at home after a Steinfeldt single. An intentional pass to Evers loaded the bases with two out. Hofman then grounded to second to end another blown scoring opportunity by the Cubs.
In the top of the ninth, however, Steinfeldt was able to bring Schulte home from second with a single to pick up his 70th RBI of the season. It was the 10th hit of the game for the Cubs.
Brown was then perfect in the bottom of the ninth as the Cubs improved to 10-0 in September.
Final score: Chicago 4 St Louis 1.
