Game seven of the 1901 National League Championship Series was a clear, 48 degree Tuesday afternoon at Chicago’s West Side Grounds. New York had success early with a 4-0 lead by the end of the fourth inning. The Giants added two more in the sixth. The Cubs got solo runs in the fifth and sixth and two in the eighth, putting them down 6-4 entering the final frame.

Chicago was down to their last out, but got a double and single to bring the potential winning run to the plate. New York was able to coax a 6-3 groundout to escape the jam and secure the 6-4 road win and a 4-3 series win. The Giants avenged their loss the prior year to the Cubs and earned their second pennant in three years.

In his tenth year with the club, perennial Gold Glove 3B Charlie Irwin was NLCS MVP. He was also the NLCS MVP two years prior in their win over Indianapolis. This time, Irwin went 8-20 with nine RBI and four runs.
