The 1935 Chicago Cubs only hit two balls out of the infield in the 1st 6 innings facing St. Louis’ Paul Derringer, but as Derringer tired, Chicago took advantage, scoring 6 runs in the 7th and 8th to pull ahead and top the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals 6-3. The Cardinals had gotten on the board first, breaking a scoreless tie in the 6th with a 2-out RBI double from Jim Bottomley, and a Chick Hafey 2-run home run. Stan Hack finally broke through in the 7th against Derringer with an RBI single. Frankie Frisch bobbled a grounder to extend the inning and allow the Cubs to get another run back. In the 8th, Augie Galan led off with a triple, and Billy Herman drove him in to tie things up. Chuck Klein, hitting less than .200 this Tournament, connected on the next pitch from Derringer for a 2-run homer to put Chicago in front. Larry French went the distance, allowing 11 hits and 3 runs in 9 innings to improve to 2-0. It was the 1st loss for Derringer. The Cubs are now just one win away from the National League Championship and a trip to the Best of the 1930s World Series.
