RESULTS: ROUND 1 - REGION 2:

7) 1912 Boston Red Sox vs. 10) 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers

Game 1 saw Smokey Joe Wood and Carl Erskine duel early but both be pulled by the 6th. An effect of using the modern day settings in the sim. Once those guys were gone the bats got going a bit, and Dodgers star of the day Billy Cox was 3-5 with 4 RBIs, including the go ahead hit in the 10th inning. The Dodgers win 5-4 and take home field advantage away.

Game 2 was a back and forth thriller, with Boston taking the lead in the 8th, blowing it by giving up two 9th innings runs, and then walking off on Tris Speaker’s single for a 4-3 win to tie it up.

Billy Loes got the start for Brooklyn in game 3 and went 6.2 shutout innings for the win. Roy Campanella’s 1st inning homer and 3rd inning bases loaded walk was all that Brooklyn need to win 2-0 and pull ahead in the series.

What a show game 4 was! Five lead changes and a couple ties. Dodgers scored four in the bottom of the 8th to take a 8-3 lead into the final frame, where Boston just put up a 6 spot! With the Red Sox one out away from tying the series, Campanella doubles in the tying run and we go to the 10th. After Joe Black pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the 10th, Duke Snider walked it off with a three run shot.

Game 5 was another back and forth affair. Tris Speaker touched up Carl Erskine in the 1st inning with a two run shot. The Dodgers put up three in the 2nd, with Billy Cox leading the way. After Boston tied it in the 5th, Brooklyn’s Campanella took the lead for good with a three run homerun in the 6th, and Brooklyn added five insurance runs in the 8th for an eventual 11-5 final.

Duke Snider wins the MVP slashing .478/.520/.739, with 2 HRs, 6 RBIs, and 5 Runs. Billy Cox had a case as well, hitting .421 with 2 HRs and 9 RBIs, and Campanella had some big hits as well. A balanced attack from Brooklyn who moves on to face another dead ball team in either the 1902 Pirates or 1911 A’s.
