The Cardinals’ George Watkins hit a solo home run off Freddie Fitzsimmons in the 1st inning, but it didn’t take long for Giants slugger Mel Ott to put them back on top and make his mark on the game. St. Louis starter Flint Rhem faced Ott with 2 runners on in the 1st. That’s when Ott launched a 3-run homer to give New York the lead. But Ott wasn’t done there. After popping out in the 3rd, he hit an RBI double in the 4th, a single in the 7th, and another 2-run shot in the 8th. That homer traveled an estimated 468′ deep into the right-center field stands at the Polo Grounds. Ott finished 4 for 5 with his 2 homers and 6 RBI. Ott has now homered in each of the 3 games against St. Louis. Meanwhile, Fitzsimmons allowed just 7 hits, 3 of those to Ripper Collins, and 3 runs in a complete game 10-3 victory and a 2-1 series lead. The Giants will look to put the series away tomorrow to advance to play the 1935 Chicago Cubs in the Winner’s Bracket.
