But Lee Gamble, Billy Werber, and Lonny Frey notched 3 straight one-out base hits to score one run, and Ival Goodman grounded out to score another. That&#8217;s when Billy Herman bobbled an easy grounder. Billy Myers followed with a 2-run homer to tie the game at 6 against starter Larry French. In the 9th, Chuck Klein drilled what seemed to be a leadoff double, but after appeal was called out for missing first base. An argument ensued, and Klein was ejected. Gabby Hartnett finally singled in Herman for the go-ahead run off Milt Shoffner, pitching in his 4th inning of relief in the 11th. Meanwhile, Cubs reliever Tex Carleton pitched 4 perfect innings of relief to pick up the 7-6 win and send the Cincinnati Reds to the Loser&#8217;s Bracket. The Cubs will face the winner of the &#8217;31 Cardinals and &#8217;34 Giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB30s\/Scoresheets\/09-11-2023_CHC_CIN.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'35 Cubs @ '39 Reds - 9\/11\/23\">&#8217;35 Cubs @ &#8217;39 Reds &#8211; 9\/11\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facing a 6-1 deficit in the 7th inning, and a sweep by the 1935 Chicago Cubs, the 1939 Cincinnati Reds seemed on the verge of another disappointing loss.
