'41 Sox scalp '39 Tribe

GAME 1 - League Park
Newsome vs Feller
Indians 3, Red Sox 2


Rapid Robert Feller didn't have his "A" game, but he was pretty darn good going the distance and allowing just 2.  He "only" fanned 5 and walked 5, but the Red Sox lineup that he faced had 5 HOF'ers batting 1-5 in the order, so Mr. Feller had no margin for error.  Ben "the antagonist" Chapman went 3 for 3 (with a HR) at the top of Cleveland's order.  Boston managed just 2 hits.

 
GAME 2 - Fenway Park
Harder vs M.Harris
Red Sox 2, Indians 0


Mickey Harris tossed a complete game 5 hit shutout to defeat Mel Harder and the Tribe.  The bottom of the Sox order:  Jim Tabor (2-3), Frankie Pytlak (2-3) and Harris (1-2) did all the damage while the big guns were pitched around.

GAME 3
J.Allen vs C.Wagner
Red Sox 10, Indians 8

After 2 pitcher's duels the series final turned into a slugfest.  Both teams combined for 18 runs on 25 hits.  Once again the bottom of the Sox order did the damage.  Jim Tabor (2-4), who hit two long balls had 4 RBI's.  Hal Trosky had 2 homers in a losing effort.  The injury bug hit the Sox hard as All-Star centerfielder Dom DiMaggio went down with a sprained ankle.  Stan Spence replaced "the Little Professor" in the 4th inning and went 1 for 2 with a walk and a double.
