GAME 5
B.Lee vs Shocker
Cubs 3, Yankees 2
Nursing a 2 run lead after 6
Urban Shocker was the victim of Mark Koenig’s shoddy defense. New York’s lackluster shortstop booted an Augie Galan short hopper on what
should have been the first out of the inning.
Catcher Gabby Hartnett walked.
Both were bunted up 90 feet by Ripper Collins. Demaree lined out to Joe Dugan at third for
the 2nd out of the inning.
Shocker looked like he was going to get out of the jam, but Billy Herman would have none of
that. Chicago’s secondsacker hit a
seeing eyed roller just out of the reach of Dugan and Koenig to score Galan and
Hartnett to tie the game. Herman, who
was running hard out of the box, snuck into second as the Yanks tried to gun Hartnett
down at the plate. In what looked like
an instant replay (which did not exist in 1938), Billy Jurges plated Herman
with his own slow roller in the 5-6 hole.
Charlie Root came on in the 9th to foil the Bombers and earn
himself a save and his team their 3rd straight win.
Cubs lead series 3-2
