RESULTS: ROUND 1 - REGION 3

8) 1919 Cincinnati Reds vs. 9) 1917 Chicago White Sox

Game 1’s star was Chicago third basemen Buck Weaver who went 2-2 with 3 walks, a homerun, 3 runs scored, and a steal to boot. Happy Felsch drove in 3 of his own and tripled in what was a lopsided 9-2 win. Cincy got their only 2 runs in the last frame.

Game 2 was won by Cincy 8-4 to tie up the series at 1 apiece. The game’s highlight came in the 4th when Greasy Neale hit a bases loaded triple, opening the floodgates of a 7 run inning that gave Cincy an 8-0 lead. Chicago tried to make a game of it, closing to 8-4 late on a 2-run triple by Shoeless Joe, but it was too little, too late.

Game 3 sees the series switch to Comiskey Park, and Lefty Williams felt right at home. Williams scattered 11 baserunners over a 136-pitch complete game shutout. The Sox only had 8 hits all game but made a couple count, eeking out runs in the 4th and the 8th to win the game 2-0 and take a 2-1 series lead.

Game 4 saw Eddie Cicotte again pitch out of a lot of trouble, going the distance and scattering 9 hits and 3 walks for his 2nd win in as many starts. Cincy is getting the hits this series, just not at the right time. They left 18 men on base, and Chicago, despite only 6 hits, was able to hold on to win 3-2. Shoeless Joe hit his 1st HR of the series in the 1st inning. Chicago will have a chance to close out the series at home in game 5.

Game 5 was like a broken record of the series. Cincy left 21 men on base and lost 2-1 to a team with 7 total hits. 7 of the 8 Reds position players hit .300 or higher for the series, but only scored 13 runs in 5 games, held to 5 of them in their 4 losses.
The MVP of the series was Eddie Cicotte, going 2-0 with a 1.54 era.
