37-Pale Hose stuns 24-Bombers

Week 3 of the KOD 22 tournament, matched up the 7-1 (24)NYY vs 1-7 (37)CWS.
First two games of the series were played in Chicago's Comiskey Park.

Game 1 The Yankees brought the bats out and won 14-5. Wally Schang the Yankees catcher went
             4-6 with 3 RBI's

Game 2 The Yankees must have tied one on after the first game as the
bats were silent for game 2. The White Sox came out
             swinging as they scored 8 runs in the 3rd inning to cruise to an 11-3 rout.
             Luke Sewell and Tony Piet each had 3 RBI's for the home team.

Game 3 The series moved east to the Bronx and for 7 innings it was more of the same from the White Sox as they built up an 8-2 lead.
             Not known at the time, but the 2 out  2 run HR in the 7th, by Mike Kreevich would be the difference in the game.
             The Yanks would narrow the lead to 8-4 in their 7th. to set up the somewhat dramatic 9th inning finish.
             
             The score 8-4 in the bottom of the ninth, Pipp and Scott both single to start the inning and that would bring up Ruth.
             The Babe cranks a 3 run homer and send the Yankee faithful into a frenzy.
             But the comeback falls short as White Sox pitcher Clint Brown retires the next three batters to give the Sox the 2-1 series victory.

My thanks to Bruce for playing a little later on Poland time. 
Fun tournament with these older rosters so far. 
I even purchased a few older seasons when Action had their sale on.
