WORLD SERIES

Braves 3 - Yankees 5: The Yankees led this game 2-0, but Boston scored a run in the top of the 7th and 8th innings to tie the score. With one out in the bottom of the 8th, New York first baseman Ralph "Thunder" Tumbridge hit an RBI double to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead. With two outs, pitcher Davie "Nightmare" Kendrick reached on an error and centerfielder Ping "The Outlander" Hung made the Braves pay with a 2-run triple. In the top of the 9th, catcher Dud Dietzsch hit a 2-out RBI single, but that was all the Braves could manage.

Braves 6 - Yankees 3: The Yankees had a 3-1 lead until Braves leftfielder John Schmeider hit a 2-out, 2-run homerun to tie the game in the top of the 6th. They added another run in the 7th and tacked on two more in the 8th. Meanwhile, Boston's Bourbon Allen allowed just 3 runs (2 earned) off 9 hits and no walks in this complete game victory.

Yankees 5 - Braves 6: New York led this game 4-0 before the Braves scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th and another run in the 6th. The Yankees added a run in the 7th to give themselves a 5-3 lead. In the bottom of the 9th, Yankees starter Art Booth allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases. Boston tied the game on back-to-back sacrifice flies off the bats of first baseman "Sluggo" Warren and shortstop David "Harlequin" Hunter. With two outs, pinch runner David Goldbard stole second base, and he scored the winning run when pinch hitter Albert McGill stroked a single into centerfield.

Yankees 1 - Braves 2: New York's Davie Kendrick and Boston's Otto "Kaiser" Kahle locked up in an epic pitcher's duel. After 9 innings, the game remained scoreless. In the top of the 10th, the Yankees scored their first run when Braves second baseman Jude McGill pulled the first baseman off the bag on a routine throw with two outs. In the bottom of the 10th, New York reliever Steve Schaefer walked two batters. With two outs, centerfielder Roy "The Natural" Hobbs hit a game-winning triple to give Boston a commanding 3-games-to-1 lead in the series.

Yankees 3 - Braves 9: Boston hammered New York starter Patrick Paulsen early and often. They jumped out to a 9-2 lead after 5 innings and never looked back as Bourbon Allen allowed just 3 runs (2 earned) off 7 hits and a walk.

Boston catcher Dud Dietzsch was named World Series MVP. He hit .600 (12 for 20) with 5 RBI and an amazing 1.369 OPS.
