Game 5
Chicago Cougars (3-2): 4
New York Gothams (2-3): 0

W: Jim Crawford (1-1)
L: Al Allen (0-1)

What a gem! We take two of the three in Chicago and head to New York with the momentum of a dominant shutout by ace Jim Crawford. After losing game four, I kind of had regrets not pitching him on short rest to take on New York's ace Jim Lonardo, but I guess it's good I didn't.

Crawford allowed just four hits and three walks with four strikeouts in a dominant performance. He single handedly won the game, going 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI. That's not to say the offense didn't help, as they piled on 15 hits and scored 4 runs. Fred Barrell was 3-for-4 with a run scored and driven in. Tom Taylor was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Vince York was 2-for-5 with an RBI. John Kincaid was 2-for-5 with an RBI. Russ Combs was 2-for-5 with an RBI.

Game 6
Chicago Cougars (4-2): 2
New York Gothams (2-4): 1

W: Max Wilder (2-0)
L: Hardin Bates (0-2)
SV: Claude Purvis (2)

THERE WILL BE NO GAME SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE CHICAGO COUGARS ARE THE 1931 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our co-aces were dominant in game five and six, and we secured my first title in Figment, and the team with the highest all time win percentage (.563) won their 5th FABL title. That's tied for second most with the Detroit Dynamos and Philadelphia Keystones. Only the New York Stars have won more, going six for seven in the World Series. This was our 8th attempt at a championship, tied for the most with Boston, who won half of their eight appearances.

Max Wilder put together eight excellent innings with 7 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Rookie stopper Claude Purvis was unphased by the pressure, allowing just one hit in a scoreless ninth. Fred Barrell was 3-for-4. Russ Combs was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Cy Bryant and Tom Taylor were both 1-for-3 with a walk and RBI. Harry Simmons was 1-for-4 with a steal and a run scored.

Fred Barrell was named World Series MVP. He hit an astronomical .609/.625/.652 with a double and 4 RBI's. He had three hits in three of the games and didn't go hitless in any of the six games.
