1935 Chicago Cubs starter Larry French allowed 9 hits in the 1st 3 innings against the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals, but still found himself up 4-3. The Cardinals took a lead in the 2nd and 3rd innings, but Chicago came right back to retake it each time. Augie Galan added an insurance run in the 6th with an RBI double to give the Cubs a 5-3 lead. French left the game after allowing 2 hits in the 8th, but Clyde Shoun allowed just one of those runners to score to take a 5-4 lead into the 9th. But Shoun allowed Frankie Frisch a leadoff single, and Jim Bottomley walked before Chick Hafey doubled to tie the game. Pepper Martin followed and silenced the Wrigley Field crowd with a 3-run home run. Jim Lindsey pitched a scoreless 9th against the stunned Cubs, giving the Cardinals an 8-5 win and a 2-0 series lead heading to St. Louis. The Cubs will now need to win 4 of their next 5 games, the next 3 being at Sportsman’s Park. The Cardinals have won 4 straight and carry all of the momentum home.
