Pitching on 3 days rest, Carl Hubbell allowed just 6 hits, shutting out the 1939 Cincinnati Reds to give the New York Giants a 2-1 series lead. Mel Ott’s triple drove in a run in the 1st inning off Whitey Moore. Ott would hit a home run to lead off the 6th, giving him a Tournament-leading 7 homers in 8 games. The Giants scored one run in each of the last 4 innings of the game, several of those thanks to a single-game record of 4 sacrifice hits. Meanwhile, Cincinnati never had more than one baserunner in any inning. They are now just one game away from elimination.
