St. Louis Cardinals starter Bill Hallahan allowed just 7 hits in 8 1/3 inning against the New York Giants. Unfortunately, 3 of those hits were home runs. That combined with a great performance by Carl Hubbell spoiled the 1st game of the Tournament for the Cardinals, as they lost 4-2. The Giants got on the board in the 3rd when Gus Mancuso hit a solo home run. The next inning, Lefty O’Doul hit a 2-run shot. Hallahan retired the next 12 batters, which gave St. Louis a chance. A Blondy Ryan error led to one run for the Redbirds in the 5th, and Pepper Martin hit an RBI single in the 7th to cut the New York lead to 3-2. But Mel Ott took Hallahan deep in the 9th to put an end to his day. Hubbell allowed just that one earned run in his complete game victory, holding the Cardinals to 7 hits. St. Louis will hope to bounce back tomorrow as the Giants try to get up 2 games to 0.
