GAME 6
BURNS TIE UP SERIES; WIN IN TWELVE 2-1
not allow back-to-back base runners over his first six innings of work.
Harlem mounted a threat in the top of the seventh. Chuck Klein singled to lead off the inning and immediately stole second base. Don Hurst followed with a
walk and Bill Dickey made the first out of the inning by flying out to left. Harlem manager Roger Peckinpaugh then made a controversial decision. With pinch-hitter
Mule Haas at the plate, Klein and Hurst both broke, attempting a double steal. Cochrane fired to third to Pie Traynor, who slapped a tag on Klein for the second out.
Haas then laced a single that surely would have scored Klein with the game-tying run. Instead there were runners on the corners with two out and Joe Cronin flew
out to end the inning with the Montgomery lead still intact.
The Knights made up for their missed opportunity an inning later. With two out and Marberry seemingly in control of the game, Lefty O'Doul doubled and Babe Ruth
moved him to third on a single. Chuck Klein redeemed his baserunning miscue by drilling a single to center that brought O'Doul home with the tying run.
With the balance of the game now to be decided by the bullpens, the Burns mounted a threat in the last of the ninth. With Harlem relief ace Watty Clark now on the
mound, the Burns put two runners on with two out. However, the Knight managed to get the final out of the inning to force extra frames.
Neither team mounted a serious threat in the extra frames with Clark firing four scoreless innings in relief, a feat matched by three Montgomery relievers. However,
in the twelfth, Tom Zachary took the mound for Harlem. He was rudely greeted by Heine Manush, who singled to center. Unexpectedly, Manush then stole second on
the next pitch. With one out, Lloyd Waner singled and moved Manush to third. The next batter, Woody English, hit ball deep in the hole at shortstop, where Joe Cronin
made an incredible play to knock the ball down in the infield. The play froze Manush at third, but both English and the junior Waner were safe, loading the bases.
Lloyd's big brother Paul popped out for the second out of the inning, which brought Burns cleanup man Rogers Hornsby to the plate.
Hornsby took the first two pitches for balls and laced the next Zachary offering into the gap in right-center. Customarily, the rope would have been an extra-base hit,
but Hornsby and the Burns only needed one. Manush scampered home with the winning run that tied the Series at three games apiece.
Incredibly, a Game Seven will now be played tomorrow in Montgomery. Rookie Larry French, a winner in Game Three, takes the mound for the Knights, who hope
to avoid blowing a 3-0 lead. Montgomery ace Pat Malone, who is 1-1 in the Series will start for the Burns and try to bring Montgomery their second World
Championship in three years.
