For the 3rd straight game, a starting pitcher didn’t make it past the 3rd inning. This time it was St. Louis Cardinals starter Paul Derringer. Derringer walked the 1st two batters he faced before allowing an RBI single to Al Simmons sandwiched between two strikeouts. Bing Miller followed with a double that scored another, but Chick Hafey threw Simmons out at the plate to end the inning. A botched pickoff throw and a bobbled grounder led to 3 unearned runs in the 2nd. It was Simmons again who drove in two of those runs. Facing a 5-0 deficit, Derringer felt a pulled hamstring before he came out for the 3rd inning. Jesse Haines allowed a run on 5 hits over the next 5 1/3 innings, but the damage was already done. George Earnshaw pitched a gem on the other side, allowing just 5 hits and 2 runs in 7 2/3 inning. Earnshaw drilled Frisch with 2 outs in the 8th, clearing both benches. A few punches were thrown, but order was restored. Both Earnshaw and Frisch were ejected. The Cardinals got a couple of two-out singles in the 9th, but couldn’t score again, dropping Game 3 6-2. Simmons finished 4 for 5 with 3 RBI to raise his Tournament average to .518. Ripper Collins was 3 for 4 for the Cardinals. Hafey finished 0 for 3, and is now hitless in both St. Louis losses.
