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.
