Billy Werber was 3 for 4 with a walk, a home run, and 2 RBI, and Frank McCormick had a bases-loaded triple to lead the Cincinnati Reds over the Pittsburgh Pirates to advance to the next round of the Baseball Maelstrom Best of the 30s Tournament. The teams traded runs early against starters Lee Grissom and Bob Klinger before the 7th. That’s when Klinger walked 3 Reds to load the bases. Klinger struck out Ival Goodman, but Frank McCormick followed with the bases-clearing triple to give Cincinnati the 6-2 lead and eventual victory. Grissom finished with just two earned runs on 7 hits in 7 innings for the Reds. The loss eliminates the 1938 Pittsburgh Pirates from the tournament. The Reds will advance to play the top-seeded 1935 Chicago Cubs. Werber increased his average to .471 in the Tournament, while McCormick is batting .556. Lloyd Waner finished the Tournament with a disappointing .062 average.
