Facing elimination, Detroit’s Tommy Bridges was pitching the most important game of his tournament. But it only took the 1939 New York Yankees 3 hitters to get their 1st run on the board when Tommy Henrich hit an RBI double. Meanwhile, New York’s Atley Donald stepped up in a big way, holding the 1935 Detroit Tigers to just 5 hits and 2 runs in 7 1/3 inning. By the time the Tigers scored their 1st run, they were already down 7-0. Joe DiMaggio, who had been struggling all tournament, started cold, but finished hot, hitting his 1st home run and a 9th inning double, driving in 4 runs. In the end, the Tigers offense never really found their rhythm. Only two starters hit over .300 in the Tournament. As Detroit heads home, New York waits for the Winner’s Bracket loser to try to continue their run.
