The Bengals were also hurt by 3 errors in the game. Dixie Davis tossed 8 strong innings for the win.

In the 5th Ray Hayworth trotted home from the 3rd on a Joe Gedeon error.
GAME THREE – Sisler’s 2nd hit of the game plated Jack Tobin in the B8 to lift St. Loo to a 2-1 win and a sweep of the series. Detroit lit the scoreboard first in the 4th inning on a Hayworth RBI single. Gedeon evened things out in the 6th with a single scoring “Baby Doll” Jacobson.
