After needing a Game 5 win yesterday just to advance, the 1933 Washington Nationals came into the series with the 1939 New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium as heavy underdogs. A rare showing of power and some good pitching by General Crowder gave Washington an early series lead. Crowder allowed 3 runs on 8 hits while striking out 6 in his complete-game victory. Two of his allowed runs came when the Yankees put together 4 straight hits in the 4th inning. The Yankees Red Ruffing allowed just 5 hits, but walked 6 Nationals. But 2 of those hits were key home runs. Ossie Blueage hit a 2-run homer in the 7th to tie the game, and Joe Kuhel added a solo shot in the 9th for the go-ahead run. It was the 1st two home runs of the tournament for the Nationals. Jack Russell pitched a scoreless 9th to give Washington the 4-3 victory. Joe DiMaggio was hitless in 4 at-bats. DiMaggio struck out and grounded into a double play in his 1st game.
