WORLD SERIES BOX SCORES UPDATED

WORLD SERIES

Giants 9 - Senators 3: This was a seesaw game and after the 5th, New York led 5-4. In the top of the 9th, Washington's Jethro Lee came unglued, allowing 5 runs as the Giants pulled off a Game 1 upset on the road.

Giants 1 - Senators 12: Washington made clear who the favorite was by stomping New York. They scored 7 runs in the first two innings off New York starter Bill Wilkins, while Washington's Chris Frays allowed just 1 run over 9 innings. Three Senators hit homeruns and seven of them had RBI, but they had just 9 hits in the game but uncharacteristically drew 11 walks.

Senators 2 - Giants 5: 1939 ROY Guy Muir had an outstanding day, allowing just 2 runs off 10 hits, as New York delighted their home fans by taking a 2-1 series lead.

Senators 7 - Giants 3: Jethro Lee was as focused as anyone had ever seen him, determined to make up for his Game 1 embarrassment. He pitched a 3-hit shutout through the first 7 innings before allowing 3 runs in the 8th. With his offense giving him plenty of run support, he continued on in the 9th, mowing down the Giants 1-2-3. Centerfielder Sam Kass hit 2 homeruns and led the Senators with 3 RBI.

Senators 3 - Giants 2: Washington led this game 2-0 behind the outstanding pitching of Chris Frays. In the bottom of the 9th, New York mounted a comeback. Anson Morgenstern led off with a triple. After two walks (one intentional), Morgenstern scored when Bobby Martin grounded into a 4-6-3 double play. That left Dale Lamberty at 3rd. Lee Friedman grounded to 3rd, but Carl Kahle rushed his throw and sent it into the first base dugout, allowing Lamberty to score. Frays got Carlos Hulse to ground out, and the game went into extra innings. With one out and runners on the corners in the 11th, Sam Kass hit an RBI single. He later stole 2nd, but the next two batters were unable to drive in any more runs. All-time saves leader Dale Cisek came into the game, his first ever World Series appearance. He was obviously pumped, and after a ground out, he struck out all-star Lamberty and catcher Vernon Pinkett to preserve the win.

Giants 3 - Senators 4: Washington led this one 4-1, but the never-say-die Giants sure made it exciting in the 9th. Starting pitcher Claude Swin got the first two batters of the inning out, needing just one more for a World Series victory. Pinch hitter Nicky Barker kept the game alive with a single, and rightfielder Hal Smith drove him home with a triple. Smith scored on a single by Carlos Hulse, and with the tying run on 1st, slugging 3B Dale Lamberty stepped into the batter's box. After working the count to 2-2, he slapped a grounder to 2nd. Despite a funny hop, Hewie Bartecko made the play and threw over to first for the final out of the season!

Two players split World Series MVP honors. The 2 tying runs in the bottom of the 9th in Game 5 were 2 of only 3 runs (2 earned) allowed in 18 WS innings by pitcher Chris Frays. Offensively, Sam Kass led the team with a .348 average, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 5 R, 3 BB and a 1.162 OPS. Both of these players certainly deserved the honor.
