Game 2: The Sox never look back in this one with 5 runs scored over the course of the first 7 innings.Stone of the Tigers ends the shutout with a 3 run blast in the 8th. White Sox 5 - 3.
Game 3: The White Sox crushes Detroit in the 9th with 5 runs; Detroit's only real offensive effort occurred in the 8th with a pair of runs. Wright gets game MVP honors on the basis of a strong performance. White Sox 8 - 2.
Game 4: Tiger pitching again saves the day in a nail-biter low scoring effort. Fischer goes the distance allowing only 1 unearned run. The Tigers tie the series with a 2 -1 victory.
Game 5: The final game of the series was notable for multiple small offensive efforts by both clubs. Fate again favored Detroit with Fred “Firpo” Marberry again showing a strong effort. Herring provided late relief to blunt a late stage White Sox offensive that saw the Detroit club to victory. Detroit 6 - 3.
My thanks to my opponent for a great series. The teams were well-matched with Detroit's pitching providing a needed defensive bulwark with good support from the offense.
