RESULTS: ROUND 1 - REGION 4:

4) 1954 Cleveland Indians vs. 13) 1909 Detroit Tigers

The dead ball era-heavy Region 4 has already seen two highly seeded entrants eliminated. Now the 13 seed Tigers, led by the controversial great Ty Cobb will get their chance to carry the old timer’s flag.

Game 1 started well for them, with Ty Cobb driving in two runs in the first and an error leading to another two in the second. That would be enough for George Mullin to hold on for the 4-3 win.

Cleveland rebounded nicely in game 2 with a resounding 6-0 victory. The game was scoreless through five, but Cleveland really turned it on from there with two runs in three straight frames. Vic Wertz had three RBIs for the Tribe.

The see-saw series continued in Detroit. The Tigers scored four in the first and were well on their way to a 12-5 win. Their 3-5 hitters, Crawford, Cobb, Moriarty, combined 10-15 with 10 RBIs and 7 runs today (with 4 stolen bases to boot). Indians fans are starting to get worried about another early exit for this great team.

Game 4 saw the Tigers score early and often to push Cleveland to the brink. Cobb was 3-4 with 2 HRs and another 7 RBIs (!) on the way to a 10-2 victory. He is certainly justifying the wild card entry to this tournament. The Indians now must win three in a row.

It is hard to win games without scoring runs. Game 5 was a shutout and a victory procession for Detroit to the tune of 13-0. Early Wynn was incredibly disappointing in this series, and the Tribe’s bats totaled five hits in their meek exit from the tourney. Cobb and Crawford were the story again, going 6 for 8 with 2 walks, 4 RBIs, 5 Runs, 2 HRs, and 2 SBs. Dead ball or not, they are going to be a handful going forward.

Ty Cobb edges Crawford for the series MVP with silly numbers for just five games. .632 average, .692 OBP, and 1.000 slugging, 2 HRs, 12 RBIs, and 8 runs.
