GAME FOUR: October 2, 1912, at Boston
REDS 3, RED SOX 0

Del Mason returned to the hill for the Reds, and this time, he's even more effective, twirling a four-hit shutout. Chuck Rose allowed all three Reds runs in the second inning before settling down, but Mason was too much for the Boston batsmen. Pat went 1-3, ripping a single in the third inning.

GAME FIVE: October 3, 1912, at Boston
REDS 11, RED SOX 2

The Reds unleashed a barrage of hits that produced runs in each of the first five innings, chasing Sox starter Joe Wood. Elmer Steele and George Winter didn't fare any better, as the Reds pasted them for five runs in the last two innings. O'Farrell singled and walked, scoring one run, in three at-bats. The Series returns to Cincinnati, with the Reds needing only one more win.

GAME SIX: October 5, 1912, at Cincinnati
REDS 5, RED SOX 4 (10 innings)

The first batter Boston hurler Ralph Glaze faced was Bob Bescher, and he hit a home run. The last batter he faced, Rebel Oakes, came to the plate in the bottom of the tenth inning, and he hit a home run. Oakes' dramatic, Series-winning blast, his fourth hit of the game, electrified the large, boisterous Cincinnati crowd and placed the exclamation point on the Reds' amazing season.

Glaze, obviously discouraged, was gentlemanly and sportsmanlike in defeat. "I made a good pitch to Oakes, but he got the better of me today. Oakes is a fine hitter, and I'd been having trouble with him all day long. That's a fine ball club they have, and I congratulate them on their victory," he said as he sat in front of his locker, a towel holding a bag of ice to his arm.

Pat O'Farrell, hitless in five trips with a strikeout, tried to keep his disappointment in check. "I had a poor Series," he said simply. "I'll do my best to help this club get back here next year, and win it again. The rooters of Boston deserve that." O'Farrell hit .150 for the Series, managing only three singles in 20 AB, with three walks.
