Rip it ! Collins goes 5 for 5 as Redbirds sweep pitching challenged Phightins

The 1936 Cardinals swept the 1932 Phillies in a bit of a wacky series that saw a lot of offense, a close game and a blow-out sandwiched around a pretty good one.

Dizzy Dean had to leave after throwing only 2 1/3 innings in the opener, but the Cardinals survived a wild late game back and forth leads to win 7-6.

Bill Walker had one bad inning and 6 good ones to lead the Cardinals to a 6-3 win in game two.

Game three saw the Cardinals pound out 21 hits and score 16 runs to the benefit of Paul Dean. 

A bit of a story is developing for Ripper Collins, who went 5 for 5 with 5 RBI in game three. He's now started KOD22 with a perfect 7 for 7.
