After last year defeat, Cleveland started strong with a 3 hitter by Wilbur Cooper and a 17 hit game. Final score was 10-0, with Charlie Jamieson and Bunny Brief*shining*ath th plate. There were also a*triple*by*Wilbur Cooper!
Game 2: Cleveland Indians at New York Giants
Thrilling game at Polo Grounds, with Giants leading*5-3 heading into 8th inning, when Cleveland closed the*gap*before tying the game in the 9th. In the bottom of the ninth here came the hero: Dave Bancroft hit a walk-off RBI single*for the 6-5 win and tying the series at 1. The W*goes to Nehf, who pitched a complete game; bad game for Cleveland SP, Coveleski (one of the best pitcher during RS).
Game 3:*New York Giants at Cleveland Indians
Game 3 is alwasy crucial for a series and this started badly for Indians. After*2 innings, SP Caldwell suffered a torn labrum -->*in a very important decision, player manager Tris Speaker decided to summon Coveleski on a short rest*after*the awful game 2. He was*right, because Coveleski silenced Giant's bats while Cleveland*offense did*the rest, scoring*5 runs between 3rd and*4th inning. Coveleski left in the Sixth, with game on ice...final score 6-1 Indians,*2-1 in the series.*Another good game by Jamieson, with 2/4, RBI, run and BB.
Game 4: New York Giants at Cleveland Indians
This was a close game, with a 2-2*tie into the 8th broken by an error by Frisch*which led to 2 runs for Indians --> 4-2 the final score, Indians up 3-1 in the series. Complete game for both pitchers (Uhle, who got the W and Barnes)
Game 5: New York Giants at Cleveland*Indians
With the first*World Series match*point, Indians started fast and never looked back.*5 runs in the*first 3 innings,*6 added in the 6th and the final score of 9-3*gave the World Series title to*the Tribe. Wonderful game by Riggs Stephenson (4/4,*3 RBI, BB, R) and another complete game by Wilbur Cooper.
